        </div>
        <div>The answer is so clear that attempts to deny the relevance
          of this policy MUST give rise to questions about interest and
          compromise. I suppose one should question the more aggressive
          discussants about their financial position relative to any
          benefit that might accrue to them, their clients or their
          employers from higher internet access fees and lower internet
          access and reliability for the majority of the poor and people
          of color in the geographic regions affected. Or, it may simply
          be a cultural issue. If your income is higher than the income
          for the average human being living on earth today, you might
          be in a privileged (compromised ) position financially, and
          thus unable to fully understand the impact this proposed
          policy will have. (Note that I fall into that category. My
          experience and perspective simply gives me an awareness that
          others, apparently, lack.)
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>Calls for "proof" are an old trick, since there is no
            proof that would suffice for those requesting it. The
            request for proof is itself irrelevant, since the question
            does not concern what policy stance ICANN should take
            relative to NN, but, rather, a rational recognition that,
            according to the stated goals of the organization, this FCC
            policy WILL have an impact. The honest thing to do is to
            describe and prepare for that impact is it relates to the
            broader social (access, diversity, income) goals of the
            organization, not to retreat behind a narrow interpretation
            of the duties and obligations of this organization. <br>
