As a history student, I think of the historical and philosophical
perspective of Internet phenomenon.
Is Internet simply anonymous and commercial-oriented scientific invention?
I said *no*.
On the silk road between Rome and China, can we smell only money?
There are the cultural encounter, the human desire for something
strange and new, the pleasure and the adventure.
I propose ICANN to create the History/Philosophy panel.
For our Happiness and our Progress, how will Internet help us?
And how can ICANN contribute towards this humanitarian dimension
of Internet.
I'd like to be a scribe, historian and thinker of Internet within ICANN.
It is really important that I use,smile and
feel happy with Internet everyday,one or two
hours per day.

| I was born by the Korean parents and educated in Chunchon, South
Korea (I studied English), in Paris (Political Science) and in
Tunis, Tunisia (History).
I can read Korean, English, French and Spanish newspapers.
Now I'm studying Arabic and Turkish.
For the New Internet world, the understanding of cultural and
linguistic diversity is really important.
Especially, I work for the French and Arabic speaking Internet
users in Africa.
We can find linguistic diversity in Africa.
The only Spanish-speaking Equatorial Guinea and some Moroccans,
Swahili-speaking East-African countries (80 millions of
population) . Portuguese-speaking Mozambique and Angola etc.
Our role is to show and guide our wonderful and fantastic world
of Internet to
these non-English-speaking friends.
As a Korean, French by loving of the French auteur Antoine
de Saint-Exupery,
Arab by my study and African by my physical presence.
I'd like to represent this cultural and linguistic diversity into
the new Internet scene.
