PS. ICANN has no responsibility or operational role denying access or services. Regardsexcept ICANN has presumed for itself an operational role. it has taken on root server operations for some years now and is trying to take over root zone editorial control.
Sure, no doubt there are some groups under the ICANN umbrella desperate to expand their "operational" role including the last move about creating a DNS-CERT or GAC-ifing every decision. Besides L server I don't think ICANN has much control of the rest of the root servers. Amen about the root zone. I'd love to see how viable and what it would take to "go Postel", screw ICANN and declare independence from it. I'd say that today nobody has full control but among some organizations (including now the other competing traveling circus aka IGF) many want to have it. Cheers Jorge
