industry itself. Thus, it cannot effectively regulate. </FONT><FONT

government regulation, especially from those governments who are not exactly "of
the people, by the people, for the people". This seems to leave netizens
around the world nowhere.</FONT></DIV>

many years and personally do not subscribe to describe it in such a
way.<BR>However, in recent times, including speaking to Global IGF and UK IGF
participants who were not involved in ICANN, it appears that following
President Macron's call for more regulation, many European stakeholders are
saying that if ICANN is unable to assume regulation of Registry and Registrar
contracts in order to protect consumers, European countries should introduce
local legislation to regulate the industry. Sad as it may be, not many people
trust ICANN to do anything and more and more consumers consider regulation as
a good thing.<BR>Kindest regards,<BR><BR>Olivier<BR>
