Masquerading as a rallying cry for ccTLD delegates, the The Hagen/von Arx
Declaration of
Independence is nothing more than alternate root proposal in disguise -
and absolute tripe. "Our solution attempts, first, to reassert
sovereignty over ccTLDs because national control over individual ccTLDs
ensures national participation, accountability and visibility. Secondly,
once individual nation states are in control of their own ccTLDs,
multilateral negotiations can take place to create a regulatory framework
within which individual nations can recognize each others domains." They
presume that by creating alternate root servers then governments can
nationally legislate which ones the network providers in the respective
countries see, and multinationally negotiate the rules for operation. I
don't know about you, but my government can do whatever the hell they want
with their TLD already And, as far as I care, they can also do what ever
they want to do insofar as which root they recognize. Please note that I
like my Internet the way it is. I am sure that there are thousands of
entrepreneurs across Canada that also enjoy the virtues of an Internet free
from poorly conceived and self-serving legislation such as what this
document proposes - the Real Internet. Dr. Mr. Government, please don't
forget that a lot of these entrepreneurs also own and operate businesses
that, because of the virtues of the Real Internet, can relocate relatively
easily to a region that hasn't attempted to legislate the Real Internet into
the dust. Put another way - do whatever you want with your TLD - keep your
hands off my Internet, I like who operates it just fine - warts and all.
