[Chapter-delegates] Who's going to visibly participate in the big ISOC webcast next week?

[Christian de Larrinaga]

I watched a recording of Larry Strickling being questioned by Ted Cruz
this afternoon. Apparently IANA needs the NTIA contract so that it is
required to abide by the First Amendment (Free Speech) as otherwise the
Internet won't have Free Speech.

The Internet has a special way of testing the boundaries of free speech
and giving examples of how delegation boundaries hand off responsibilities.

I found this is registered and resolves to an IP.

ping cruz.is.a.nasty.piece.of.work (141.8.224.195): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 141.8.224.195: icmp_seq=0 ttl=236 time=165.026 ms
64 bytes from 141.8.224.195: icmp_seq=1 ttl=236 time=186.966 ms
64 bytes from 141.8.224.195: icmp_seq=2 ttl=236 time=165.218 ms

Don't try to resolve it over http. I wouldn't be surprised if it carries
a few "nasty" surprises. Free speech can have an edge to it over IP.

But maybe if Larry Stickling gets another bite at the Cruz he could use
that domain as an example to explain the vibrancy of both Free Speech
and delegation in action over teh Internet?

    I think this is a premature assertion - the US Senate is attempting
    to write "must pass" legislation (Continuing Resolution) that will
    have a rider enjoining NTIA from terminating the contract with ICANN
    for IANA functions. This is as much purely political as it is a
    demonstration of lack of understanding of ICANN, IANA and the Internet.
