"A Proposal for More Realistic Domain Name Governance."
The paper supplements New.net's previous paper released
in June 2001 and highlights the deficiencies inherent
in the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and

to replace the existing structure with one that relies
on market forces and ordinary business regulation
to govern the Internet naming and addressing industry.

"Securing the Future of Internet Addressing" before

meeting in Marina del Rey, CA. The presentation is
a call to action of the GA to demand that ICANN return
to a more limited technical standards-setting role,
embracing truly inclusive and bottoms-up processes
while recognizing the principle that market forces
play an important role. Click
