US Govt Agrees with NCUC on ICANN's "Inappropriate" Plan to Police Morality and Public Order

[Robin Gross]

The US Govt submitted its comments to ICANN on the introduction of  
new gTLDs.
     http://forum.icann.org/lists/gtld-guide/msg00175.html

And the US Govt agreed with a point NCUC has been making throughout  
this entire process.  The US suggests ICANN "Focus on coordinating  
technical functions related to the management of the DNS and not on  
matters more appropriately addressed by governments, such as  
adjudication of morality and public order and the community  
objections in accordance with international human rights law.  The  
proposed mechanisms are inappropriate."

Interesting to say the least.

Best,
Robin
