<div><br></div></div></blockquote><div>Well i believe Internet has a lot of relevance in this, after-all we won't be talking ICANN/IANA if there ain't internet. So the point is why should i participate in growing ICANN (through domain purchases for instance) and be legally bound from benefiting from its initiatives....should there be any such restriction in the first place? (if it indeed existed). <br>
<br>IMHO i think funding should be the major and perhaps only thing that could make ICANN selective on which country to support.<br><br></div><div>Cheers!<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Dear Hugo<div class=""><br>
The reason I say all this is not to criticise, is that if your recipient (ICANN's CEO) cannot understand your representations, he will not be able to respond appropriately or direct the right people accordingly as I know he would want to.<br>
<br>
</div></blockquote><div class="">
<div>++1 the other thing will also be to suggest that mails like this (which seem to suggest conflict of interest) be sent directly to those concerned, as i don't think it has gotten to the level of posting(escalating) to a public list.<br>

Then again, I am sure ICANN's by-now-vast resources would extend to having important missives translated, so I would suggest re-sending this in your native language.<br>

PS: ICANN is an American company. I think it also would have difficulties (legal?) in funding representatives from North Korea and Cuba??<br>

</div><div class=""><div>Hmm...am curious on how this works practically and will appreciate if you could further clarify your statement above, are you saying ICANN is restricted by law on countries to support? even though internet connectivity exist in those regions?<br>
