I predict that the restrictions will still stand, perhaps with some very small concessions that don't matter.

The ICANN Comedy Show gets better and better everyday.
There is no bottom up in ICANN.
The people making the decisions do not participate
in any of the useless discussions.
All these activities are distractions intended to
divert people away from the poor performance
of .INFO. By freezing the names, they make it
appear as if the names are desirable. Market
research shows that most people could care less
about the ICANN TLDs and names under them.
Many new systems do not even use domain names.

The U.S. Government has announced that it will
create a separate Internet, no doubt, away from
ICANN and the rest of the kooks who are ICANN
and ISOC groupies.
It is time for all Americans to wake up to the fact
that ICANN does not represent Freedom. ICANN is
more like the Taliban, than the U.S. Senate. Look
at ICANN, the leaders are self-appointed. The
leaders are all mostly the same sex, religion
and age group. The ICANN leaders seek to impose
their views of the world on everyone via the
global Internet. People that value Freedom are
routing around ICANN. The U.S. Government will
also route around ICANN.

WIPO is unusual among international governmental organizations in that it is largely self-financing. About 85 percent - approximately 350 million Swiss francs - of the Organization's budgeted expenditure for the 2000-2001 biennium will come from earnings from the three major registration systems. The remaining 15 percent will come mainly from contributions from member States and sales of WIPO publications. All this income finances WIPO’s operating expenditures, slightly over 200 million Swiss francs per year.
The use of the registration systems has grown steadily over the last few years, and that trend is expected to continue well into the new century. Long-term investments on office automation and headquarters premises are currently under way, financed by a special reserve fund.

A strong America does not need a weak single point
of failure like ICANN.
A strong America is built from strong individuals
who each are educated and capable of making
decisions about right and wrong.
A strong America does not need ICANN to censor it.

One of the beauties of America is that people still
have the Freedom to demonstrate individually or
collectively how incompetent they can be.
ICANN has the Freedom to demonstrate to all
Americans how incompetent it is, and it does a
great job doing that, on a regular basis.
Americans have the Freedom to laugh at ICANN.
Americans do not need to be cowed by ICANN.
ICANN is entertainment. ICANN is theater. ICANN
is like watching small children play dress up in old
clothes. ICANN is a living parody. Enjoy it, but do
not take it seriously.

"Receipt of the resolution was quickly acknowledged by ICANN President Stuart Lynn, so it appears as if the resolution got their attention."
If people recall, Stuart Lynn said in Stockholm that
he asked Mike Roberts how to prepare for an
ICANN meeting. Stuart said that Mike told him that
he needs to make sure he has one good controversial
topic tossed out before the meeting to get people
interested in attending.
Could it be that ICANN has baited the Names
Council and they have foolishly taken the bait ?

Milton, if you think that's what ICANN has planned, what can be done about it?
