My Reflections @ ICANN

The email boo boo I did last started to make me think what I am doing at ICANN and giving my free time to create opponents. Ok, I am not in the domain registration business per se. Yes, I have found my niche in representing he underrepresented 'the IDN" observers that which ICANN does not have a constituency. So it became my passion to win it for them. I also reflected while I agree with the mission statement and objective and mandate of ICANN, and I am elected on the policy board to advise on policy matters of Internet governance, it seem like the governance aspect is all about politics and dot technical.The technical part is in fact very easy just like any technology. ICANN is a single point where the root server is managed and in fact, making sure that there is a secure and stable environment is more critical than giving domain names to various registrars, which ends up in a whole battle field, where everyone comes with a sword to kill without mercy!.

The more I stayed in ICANN, the more it feels like a Shakespeare drama and we all have parts to play and the final being everyone dead. Finally I justified my stay for the lavish parties and the exotic location that ICANN hosts its events. The event people I have met, both interesting and sometimes strange, all with an Agenda of course. The traveling wives who take the same advantage, I have envied for I have to be the man in these situation and be at work. Makes me reflect on the married life that I so resent to get into. So considering this and all that, I even find myself contemplating for re-election and I start preying to God for saving from this and transitioning me to my next adventure, cause I cannot do this for another 2 years!
