Re: [IFWP] ICANN's orientation

Tony,

Of course if would be appropriate to correct the wording on the
ICANN web site. But you know this has nothing to do with ICANN's
orientation.

Or maybe from now on you will also complain whenever you see a US 
phone number written without the US country prefix, saying that this
is an affront to all other countries, and accusing the author of
having an entirely US-centric agenda?


Regards,

Werner
