Your April 21st Statement, and the Truth



Hon. William M. Daley
Secretary for Commerce
United States Government

Dear Mr. Daley,

On April 21st you said: "This announcement [of the new domain name
registrars] is also a measure of how far we've come in moving
towards private management of the domain name system. When we
recognized ICANN in November, we knew that this new, not-for-profit
corporation would have to earn the respect of the Internet
community. The enthusiasm with which companies respond to ICANN's
call for competing registrars
demonstrates that ICANN is earning this respect. I want to
congratulate and thank the ICANN board who, in the best tradition of
the Internet, have volunteered their services in this important
cause."

Have you ever wondered, Mr. Daley, why those nine people have
"volunteered" to form the NewCo, which will have fundamental
authority over the Internet, and why they remain in their positions
of power even while suffering constant attacks from those of us in
the Internet community who, despite what you said in your statement,
are quite discontent with ICANN and the perverted process to take
control of the Internet for a few that ICANN is overseeing? Did you
never wonder why they are there, how they got there, and why they
remain?

In 1997, Scretary of State Madeleine Albright stopped a coalition of
private organizations that had devised a plan for taking control of
the Internet for their own purposes. These unconscionable persons,
the leaders of ISOC, CORE, INTA, ITU, and others, had devised a
scheme for creating an international organization, with no
foundation in law, no authority nor democratic process, to be
centered in Geneva. Ms. Albright, taking heed from the loud protests
coming from small Internet enterpreneurs who saw their future
stymied by an international cartel, and realizing that the illegal
coalition could have no support from government, sent people to stop
it.

Denied the support of governments, that initial effort of the
illegal coalition failed. But the coalition remained intact. Now,
thanks to the disappearance of responsible authority in the form of
the late John Postel, and by means of a surreptitiously chosen
interim ICANN board, those same forces, intent on forming their
Internet cartel and controlling the Internet for their purposes, are
succeeding where they failed two years ago. (I am attaching recent
correspondence that supports this analysis.) If not stopped, these
people will soon control every one of the six constituencies that
make up the Domain Names Supporting Organization of ICANN, its
policy-making counsel on domain names. And through the control of
the DNSO that they will have wrested from the Internet community
thanks to facilitation by an undemocratically chosen and partial
interim board, they will control elections and eventually the Board
of ICANN, and with ICANN the Internet.

So, the characterization and impression of events that you gave in
your statement of April 21 is not true. Oh, you probably do not
realize that, you are undoubtedly too busy with other matters to
take a close look at what is happening to the Internet. You are not
to be blamed, at least not for any mis-characterization of the
situation you have made. But you will be blamed for the fearsome
outcome, of that you may rest assured.

Commercial and Business Entities Constituency for the DNSO of ICANN

A number of business organizations and companies have begun formal
discussions on how to structure the
business/commercial constituency of the Domain Names Supporting
Organization.  We welcome the participation and involvement of other
business organizations and companies.  An initial proposal has been
developed and it is now posted for comment at
<http://www.eurointernet.org/dnso/buss1.htm> 

To participate in this constituency organizing effort, please contact either: 

Christiaan van der Valk of the International Chamber of Commerce at
cvk@iccwbo.org or 
Sheila O'Neill or Jon Englund with the World Information Technology and
Services Alliance (WITSA) and ITAA at
soneill@itaa.org and jenglund@itaa.org or Javier Sola of the European

Tell us, Mr. Sola, are you organizing the Business Constituency as a
representative of European Internet business, or as an officer of
ISOC?

Gosh, Michael, excuse me, I honestly thought you new how to read. 

The document says EUROPEAN INTERNET BUSINESS ASSOCIATION, not ISOC, Spanish
Internet Users Association or any other organisation or committee I do any
type of work for.

Please find a voice file attached, to be played in case you have problems
reading this.

Domain Name Supporting Organization Constituency Group Formation Process  

Non-commercial domain name holders, continued 

Submitted by Marty Burack, burack@isoc.org, April 12, 1999 

"The Internet Society and the other interested non-commercial organizations named below propose the formation of the
constituency of non-commercial domain name holders of the ICANN Domain Name Supporting Organization (DNSO). 

We will be actively seeking the involvement of other organizations in this endeavor.  We hope to work together to include all
interested non-profit domain name holders.  Interested organizations are encouraged to contact:

It seems that it is you, rather than myself, who don't know how to
read. Aren't you capable of reading and understanding for example
the ICANN Articles and Bylaws, where it is written, filed, and
become the law of that organization that its affairs shall be
conducted with openness, transparency, fairness, and democratic
process?

Have you ever taken the trouble to read and try to comprehend the
constitution of a democratic country, Mr. Sola, and its federal
laws, which make the sort of deceit and manipulation that you are
practicing illegal and punishable, so that persons like you who have
not a moral education sufficient to deter them from engaging in
actions dangerous to the public good may be stopped?

You are an officer, a Vice-President, of an organization - ISOC -
that has publicly declared that it is organizing a counsel within
ICANN, the Non-Commercial Domain Name Holders Constituency, that is
named and defined in a body of law, ICANN's Bylaws; yet at the same
time you have published on public mailing lists that you are
organizing the Business Constituency within that same organization,
ICANN. This is clear evidence that you, suffering from a lack of
moral education, find no contradiction, no conflict of interest, in
not only participating in but leading these two activities which
anyone with knowledge of and respect for the rule of law that
permits a democracy to function will find reprehensible, even
dangerous.

But what do you and the others conspiring with you to take control
of ICANN care for the rules of society? What difference does the
democratic evolution of the Internet mean to you, so long as your
personal ambitions are satisfied?

Do you see the last two email addresses in the header of this
message? They are of the United States Secretary of State, Madeleine
Albright. Do you remember her, Mr. Sola? She's the person who
stopped you when you tried to take over the Internet in 1997, by
sending the right sort of people to Geneva to put the governmental
posh on your scheme. She and the rest of us thought that you had
learned your lesson; but how could you, when you haven't the moral
education to comprehend what is right and what is wrong, and use the
world, and the Internet, without reticence or care for others, and
only for yourself? 

So you and your co-conspirators in ISOC, CORE, INTA, and the other
organizations that are mad to dominate and control the Internet for
themselves will have to be slapped down once again. Those of us who
are sick and tired of your swinish behavior, and need to spend our
time and energy developing the Internet for the good of all instead
of the good of you and your friends, will see to it this time that
you are taught a better lesson.
