They are waiting for Trump get in.
Thanks for this sobering post.
It is always possible to have say a Microsoft-based or Google-based Internet name search.
The browser writers have the ultimate say when it comes to Internet addresses.
In fact this could be automated.
www.famousname.com could ask for a Microsoft-based address, a propose a new page and provide an email address.
Microsoft would check to see if the page isn’t there, then send famousname an e-mail telling it to create the page.
famousname would create the page and tell Microsoft to verify it.
Microsoft would then verify the new page and activate the www.famousname.com link.
I can only hope Arthur has a ping list on this subject and will add me to it ....:o)
This is an excellent Thread! I think it should be sent to the Trump campaign...Mr. Trump is against the Internet transfer! He supports the PROTECTION OF INTERNET FREEDOM ACT and has many concerns about China’s dominance in various industries.
WAIT! You are saying CHINA IS BUILDING A COMPOUND TO HOUSE ICANN - even before Congress has voted???!?!?!

From article:
And the Chinese already enjoy raw power. Their encryption is superior, their nuclear capability suffices, and they are now experienced at cyber warfare.
Compare that to the US — NSA recently got hacked. That was supposed to be the best encrypted, best protected agency in our nation. Imagine if all of our satellites got simultaneously hacked. We would be blind and appear weak in the eyes of the world.
International Law
The reason CHINA IS BUILDING A COMPOUND a compound to welcome ICANN is international legitimacy. Other tyrants seeking to censor online speech can seek a shiny new contract with Obama’s Free Range ICANN.
Bluntly stated: ICANN helps China build a large alliance to alienate the USA if it comes to a full-scale ‘cyber-war’.
Please brace for just one thick sentence:
ICANN’s power is mainly legal, and a contract with ICANN could trigger a violent dispute over international law.

Bluntly stated: giving away ICANN could ultimately trigger a cyber war or worse.

Raw Power and International Law
When you face a super power like the USA it helps to have raw power. China probably assumes it will not come to that, but just like nuclear deterence, they need the war-making capability.
And the Chinese already enjoy raw power. Their encryption is superior, their nuclear capability suffices, and they are now experienced at cyber warfare.

Transfer of any Internet regulation presents so many profound ramifications, it is hard to grasp!!
