CNET opinion article on ICANN, WSIS, etc
CNET has an opinion piece about ICANN from Elliot Noss, CEO of Tucows. It has some interesting points about some of the WSIS delegates but overall I feel that Elliot has glossed over many of the issues ICANN has, mainly I think as he is an insider to ICANN. Any major change to the gTLD approach would also impact Tucows, ergo, he has to support the status quo.

If his opinion was right about ITU then you would apply the same logic to the current telephony systems worldwide. Sure, it is not perfect but it is nothing like he states would happen if they got control of the 'Internet Goverance' area.

The final comment I have is that I laughed outloud at his comments on how to work with/become involved with ICANN via the constituencies. Sure you can but it makes little difference, the ICANN board staff do what they want anyway.
