[At-Large] 300 million people have spoken with one voice "WE DON'T NEED ICANN"

[Joe Baptista]

When I see ICANN supporters introduce the misguided argument on the "REAL"
root I know were making progress.

So - who here can see the Chinese National TLD system?  Who can surf to
Peking University at its official web site address used extensively in china

http://北京大学.中国/ <http://xn--1lq90ic7fzpc.xn--fiqs8s/>

The above URL works for me.  Is there any other person here on the
governance or atlarge lists who can surf to that working URL?

I very proud of the Chines government.  They took charge of their internet.
They made it their business to understand the technology.  While other
governments helped ICANN build a bureaucracy - the Chinese gave them the
finger.  Thats three hundred million fingers people.

The TLD system in China was established as far back as 2003 with the
assistance of i-dns - which also runs a root seen in most of Asia and
developed a good portion of the tecnology used for IDN.  ICANN had nothing
to do with it.

ICANN is a fools paradise.  No one is happy with ICANN.  I recommend
governments don't end up dependent on ICANN.  If you want secure
infrastructure - NATIONALIZE YOUR ROOT. Create your own TLD infrastructure
that owes no allegiance to ICANN or the U.S. government.

That was my advice to the DOC.

If its good for China and America - it's good for you countries people too.
