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/

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.
