Great work!! Maybe you can help me with something Len? I want to start my own laws and legal system as I feel there is to much control with the existing processes; it's also to slow to work with, to open to interpretations and does not consider the rights of individuals in unique situations .. can you help me?

Warrenı s Washington Internet Daily DOMAIN NAMES: Australian barrister presses ICANN to recognize alternate root... (P. 5) [This article also reproduced at http://www.site.humanrights/media.html and also, using ICANN root, at http://www.humanrights.com.au/dhr/media.html] Domain Names Australian barrister Len Lindon, who has been waging a solitary campaign against alleged anticompetitive activities by ICANN and the .au Domain Administration (auDA), Thurs. advised ICANN CEO Stuart Lynn, Vp-Gen. Counsel Louis Touton and Chief Policy Officer Andrew McLaughlin that he expected the Internet body to recognize the ³Human Rights Root Service² and to resolve .humanrights on the ICANN root. In his letter, posted online the day before the opening of the ICANN meeting in Stockholm, Lindon said ICANN, the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) and Australiaıs Minister for Communications were ³well aware² of allegations that ICANN was breaching the Australian Trade Prac-tices Act by limiting competition in the domain space. ³The most recent proof of ICANNıs intent to destroy non-ICANN root services and [top-level domains (TLDs)] was published by the ICANN President on Tuesday 28 May 2001,² Lindon wrote. Thatıs the day Lynn posted a White Paper that has infuriated alternate root proponents and prompted a response from upstart registry New.net outlining a proposal to introduce ³market-based principles into domain name governance.² While Lindonıs .humanrights site is ³prepared to mutually recognize ICANN TLDs and the ICANN Root Service for the purpose of Internet Addressing,² he said, it canıt have any other connection to ICANN. ³The corrupt processes and decisions of ICANN have been analysed [sic] at length,² Lindon said. ³No wonder Europeans call ICANN Othe American Joke!ı² Last Nov., Lindon asked the ACCC to investigate claims that ICANN and auDA were anticompetitive. At the ICANN meeting in March in Melbourne, Lindon sought an injunction against both bodies, a request that was denied by a justice of Australiaıs federal court. The ACCC earlier had indicated that it might look into Lindonıs allegations. However, an e-mail seeking comment hadnıt been answered by our deadline. Wran-gling over the need for alternate roots has become so heated that the topic been put on the agenda for ICANNıs public forum June 3. < DS c.
