And anyone who thinks that a TLD is necessary to maintain life in their language/culture should be concerned with bigger problems.
I am sorry, Evan, certainly the most pathetic conservative consideration I heard so far. Reminds me Rumsfeld's "shaping the world" and Clinton's "shaping the mind". Would you accept that this kind of technocultural position are true violations of Net Neutrality (limitation of access upon cultural and political grounds) and Human Rights (discrimination on language, culture, origin)? . All this to justify discrimination on money. BTW, where are you from? Again, the DNS is NOT a business. Creating and managing a TLD costs nothing. ICANN's Internet for the Rich wallabee strategy is bad. It represents a real danger for the world. In not helping stopping it, you most certainly lead to a conflict the USA do not want, and therefore to the end of ICANN. jfc
