Betreff: GAC pipes up on MAPO with silly claim that absence of controversy on Internet leads to security....

GAC has spoken.  GAC sent a letter to ICANN Board this week:


"The GAC firmly believes that the absence of any controversial strings in the current universe of top-level domains (TLDs) to date contributes directly to the security and stability of the domain name and addressing system (DNS) and the universal resolvability of the system...."

So the governments claim there can be NO controversial tlds.  How enlightening!    And of course the old "security and stability" argument is trotted out to try to justify such an outrageous demand and curtailment of freedom.

Obviously this is not an issue of "security" of the Internet, but of trying to prevent people from being exposed to viewpoints that some govts don't like.

Let's see if the Board turns a few cartwheels to please govts on this one.
