FCC scraps net neutrality

[farzaneh badii]

Thank you Mr. Aggrwal for your note. However I have to disagree with you
and remind our current members and our new members that: NCSG and its
constituencies  do not have a lot of resources. Moreover, topics such as
Net Neutrality are not related to our work. We work on domain name policy,
specifically generic domain name policy.

It is very important to remind ourselves what our mission here is and what
we work on. We should not create false hope that anything regarding net
neutrality, Internet access (infrastructure) can be solved through NCSG. We
work on an important but limited aspect of Internet which is called generic
domain name.
