Fwd: RSF asks ICANN to intervene in ccTLD policy

[Milton Mueller]

This is an example of how poorly informed some of these civil society organizations are. With laudable objectives (opposition to censorship) they propose laughably out of place solutions (talking to ICANN's ombudsman!!!) and seem oblivious to the actual role of ICANN in ccTLD management. Why don't these orgs join NCUC and/or follow www.Internetgovernance.org if they really want to do some good?  Or is the motive simply to get their name into a news release?
