Victory Ready To Renew MOU

well, I just saw this:

"Later this month, Victory will be part of the U.S. delegation at a meeting of the International Telecommunications Union in Marrakech, Morocco. The United States intends to oppose the ITU's efforts to participate more in Internet regulation, Victory said."

...and is certainly not surprising. However, ICANN itself claims not to be a DNS regulator nor with the "will" to be one. So, Ms. Victory, what is it that you are saying? Is such DNS regulation going to now become decentralized as much as possible (and as it should be) as part of the new MoU? Is the regulatoy scope of ICANN going to be defined to allow this? Is DoC and the NTIA going to mandate it?

I don't have answers to your good questions Ray, and I doubt you'll get any from Nancy Victory. The ITU is already involved in the regulation of radio frequencies, telephone numbers, ENUM and a host of other areas. While there are sometimes issues and debates regarding some of these, they are orders of magnitude less than the issues surrounding ICANN, even though many of them deal with far more finite resources than ICANN has responsibility for. This can probably be put down to the ITU for the most part being competent and not corrupt, and ICANN for the most part being incompetent and corrupt. I don't think either leaving regulation to ICANN or leaving regulation undefined is a good situation, I suspect some of those delegates to the ITU feel the same. -g
