<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, thanks Mamadou. The first article, by a member of the US FCC, is notably pathetic and muddy headed. The ICANN transition is bad because some ITU members want to set technical standards for the Internet of Things, China released a
paper, and at an ITU SG meeting Russia and some African countries put forth a recommendation to define and potentially regulate "over-the-top” services. So surely the ICANN model is broken. Sigh…and this is a guy who gets to gut net neutrality in the US...<o:p></o:p></p>
