One of the few ICANN committees that actually works is the SSAC, the Security and Stability Advisory Committee. It includes a lot of people we know, starting with Steve Crocker, the chair. I cannot ever recall a time when ICANN acted contrary to the advice of the SSAC. So although I agree that there's a lot not to like about ICANN, the chances that they will do technically dangerous things are low. http://www.icann.org/committees/security/ R's, John _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
