I recently returned from the WSIS meeting in Tunis and found it a very interesting experience.
The ICANN problem, however, remains unsolved.
My article in OhmyNews discusses some of the problem outstanding with the ccTLD's and ICANN.
"WSIS Proves a Summit of Unsolved Solutions"
"A criticism of ICANN is that it focuses on commercialization issues, rather than internationalization issues. Instead of extending ccTLDs to include other alphabets like Chinese, ICANN focuses on the interests of the trademark holder community."
"It was clear from the Tunis Summit that the frustration expressed by governments around the world that was not addressed, will continue to impact Internet governance developments in various ways."
Best wishes,
Ronda
