IANA is Jon Postel. And I, as
a Canadian citizen, have in no
way shape or form sanctioned,
elected or had any say in this
fellow's appointment as Internet
Dictator for life. And even if
Postel "decides" to exile Internet
governance from his own nation,
for it's own good, I still had
absolutely *NO* say in this process.
Are you all forgetting about democracy
and the rule of law? Or do you think
it only applies to your humble net_god
carcasses and not the rest of the
people who may not share your views?
I have been advocating rebellion as
the only sane alternative to being
railroaded into some new form of net
hegemony. As the only response reason-
able netizens have to domination and
oppression. In order to avoid this
insurection I have counselled peace
talks and conciliation among all of
the belligerants. Will you, Kent, be
the first to stop the headlong rush
to conflict and sit down at a table
of your collegues to compromise? In
Toronto. As soon as possible. In a
nuetral, public place. With everyone
else welcome and open to change.
This is a direct question asked with
respect and candor. I would appreciate
a direct and honest reply.
