&gt;     It&#39;s an American entity so it is bound by US law<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Sure i know it is, what is strange is that US law rebukes organizations<br>
&gt; with similar role as ICANN from supporting certain region. Well i was<br>
&gt; hoping for a reference to that.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;     The fact that there is or is not an internet connection is not relevant<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Well i believe Internet has a lot of relevance in this, after-all we<br>
&gt; won&#39;t be talking ICANN/IANA if there ain&#39;t internet. So the point is why<br>
&gt; should i participate in growing ICANN (through domain purchases for<br>
&gt; instance) and be legally bound from benefiting from its<br>
&gt; initiatives....should there be any such restriction in the first place?<br>
&gt; (if it indeed existed).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; IMHO i think funding should be the major and perhaps only thing that<br>
&gt; could make ICANN selective on which country to support.<br>
&gt;<br>

&gt;&gt;         Dear Hugo<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;         The reason I say all this is not to criticise, is that if your<br>
&gt;&gt;         recipient (ICANN&#39;s CEO) cannot understand your<br>
&gt;&gt;         representations, he will not be able to respond appropriately<br>
&gt;&gt;         or direct the right people accordingly as I know he would want to.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;     ++1 the other thing will also be to suggest that mails like this<br>
&gt;&gt;     (which seem to suggest conflict of interest) be sent directly to<br>
&gt;&gt;     those concerned, as i don&#39;t think it has gotten to the level of<br>
&gt;&gt;     posting(escalating) to a public list.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;         Then again, I am sure ICANN&#39;s by-now-vast resources would<br>
&gt;&gt;         extend to having important missives translated, so I would<br>
&gt;&gt;         suggest re-sending this in your native language.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;     ++1<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;         PS: ICANN is an American company. I think it also would have<br>
&gt;&gt;         difficulties (legal?) in funding representatives from North<br>
&gt;&gt;         Korea and Cuba??<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;     Hmm...am curious on how this works practically and will appreciate<br>
&gt;&gt;     if you could further clarify your statement above, are you saying<br>
&gt;&gt;     ICANN is restricted by law on countries to support? even though<br>
&gt;&gt;     internet connectivity exist in those regions?<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;     Regards<br>
