[rpd] [arin-ppml] LACNIC proposal to create a global internetregistry

[Kris Seeburn]

Thanks Owen for your thoughts and views and hope it opens more discussion on list on this proposed global policy.

Just one point USG may be interested via FCC and GOP people in congress and else are interested in ICANN and never wanted it out. And as you know it was plainly and executive order by Obama that trump can revoke just like net neutrality….. 

But anyhow i find the idea interesting and of course needs more discussions in our region that just a policy that was dropped and we do not discuss enough of course and eventually could be improved.

I am not sure whether the ICANN board which is lobbied greatly may accept such a position but, if we do not try it may never happen. I believe in ideas that makes the system move. We are not ten years back or the year before.

We know there is quite a lot of space as well in the legacy space and many are still pitching for them.. If we are able to reconcile all the resources as it stands today. We may have a real visibility of resources as well as the underlying dark web as well. With a little bit of focused research.
