Re: [At-Large] Pakistan YouTube Block affected wider Internet

It is not ICANN's mission to deal with every aspect of Internet security or stability, and the Pakistan YouTube incident is far out of scope (or competence/ability) for ICANN to get involved.

You beat me to it. The only tangential connection that ICANN has to routing is that IANA hands out the IP addresses and ASN numbers that routing uses. (The RIRs do the day to day work of assigning them to networks.) The lack of security in BGP is a well known issue which networks will address when the pain level gets high enough. ICANN can't deal with the matters it does control. Let's worry about those. R's, John
