[ncdnhc-discuss] Names council candidates

[Alejandro Pisanty - CUAED y FQ, UNAM]

Hi!

as Michael Froomkin points out, we do have commercial groupings. One of
them considers strictly the business user of the Internet, others consider
other aspects of the interests and principles affecting or affected by the
DNS.

An individual domain name holders constituency has not been able to
organize adequately. It is a pity and a part we miss, but the truth is it
hasn't been able to get its act together. That's something the NCDNHC has
said it's favorable to but also not intervened (I do not think we
should.)

This constituency was created to group the non-commercial organizations
which were so important to create and expand the Internet. What these
organizations provided in the early and latter days is innovation,
technology, new information-distribution models, etc., and it is in
recognition of that contribution that the constituency was formed.
Universities figure prominently in this history.

Superposing agendas such as "consumer defense" and "solidarity with at
large" has lead to great ineffectiveness, and had a great cost of
opportunity at not attending to domain-name issues.

A question that has been repeatedly asked and not answered is: what is the
agenda of the NCDNHC and its member organizations? What, Eung Hwi, is it
for PeaceNet Korea?
