My Dear Carlton: I strongly agree with you, nobody can to say waht are the
criterion of moral or inmoral for everybody, maximun when Internet is a
global tool wich include diferent races, religions and cultures. I did not
participate in a mentioned teleconference, because I have a big national
event of informatic law organized by AGEIA DENSI, here in my city but I
appreciate your effort and great job. Thank`s, and you could be sure that I
will vote in the same

Due to a scheduling conflict with the job that pays my keep, I belatedly>
joined the New gTLD Evaluation Process briefing via teleconference. Since I>
only came at the tail end, someone may have sought clarification on the>
matter of the four criteria for objections to a gTLD string, namely Sting>
Confusion, Infringement of Rights, Morality and Public Order, Community>
Objection. The draft also states that the gTLD string can be objected on>
any combination of the four criteria at the same time.> > I have requested
and the At-Large Secretariat is committed to producing a> Spanish-language
translation as soon as practical.> > Singly or severally, they ring alarm
bells. So while the translation is> being worked, I shall raise a few
concerns for your consideration while they> are fresh in my mind.> > First,
if "Morality and Public Order" is accepted as a criterion for> successful
objection to a gTLD string, it would have finally removed the> very last fig
leaf from ICANN's tattered denial of a political construct to> its mandate
and work. Because since it is widely indoctrinated that morality> - your
sense of right and wrong - is the stuff of religion, it raises the> question
as to whose morality becomes the yardstick. Rest assured the> yardstick will
certainly not be that of the mosque. But quite frankly, the> competing
morality - and ascendant one, in the sense of the existing power> equation -
is equally objectionable to me. I still have an old edition of> the Book of
Common Prayer where deliverance from "the perfidious Jew and> infidel Turk"
is penitently requested.> > Secondly, it is almost certain that a criterion
such as "Infringement of> Rights" would relegate minority rights to an
'also-ran' position, especially> with regard to representation of these
persons in ICANN councils.> > I will end by repeating a mantra that should
be familiar to those who know> me. Any man that cannot decide for himself
what to read, who to associate> with and most importantly, what to think, is
a slave. Since I am the ONLY> qualified person to determine what I may
think, read and associate, I am> unalterably opposed to any notion that a
tribunal can determine what is> moral for me.> > When the time comes, I
shall vote "NAY" and against this process, as> defined.> > Carlton> > > > >
