Why is 911 relevant to ICANN.
1. Communication.
Make no mistake about it that communication is an essential part of preventing such terror. It lies at the vary heart of prevention. Hatred is for the most part borne of ignorance. Ignorance is the result of lack of knowledge and knowledge must be imparted through communication. ICANN is at least in part an overseer of the most important international communication tool of our time. Failure here sets us back in time. Frustration here creates more hatred. Many claim that the dissolution of the Soviet Union was a direct result of the increase of communication. Perhaps it was hastened by a man often called the Great Communicator.
2. Denial of individual participation.
To a large extent radicalism occurs when the denial of participation reaches such a point that otherwise rational sentient beings will resort to irrational violence or other antisocial behavior. Injustice is a common result of lack of particpation, while autocracy fluorishes individuals that witness wrongs are left with few appropriate channels of release in which their grievances can be heard.
3. Historical Wrongs Committed.
For power bases which derive their strength through hatred we find the fabric woven through intricate spinning of past wrongs into current action maps can only be broken through communication and participation. Outreach is best when it not only hears but listens to the voices of those outside the ruling members of a group. In this sense outreach is also a preventative cure for the hatred that can be aggravated by perceiving past wrongs as continuing.
ICANN people have learned nothing from our 911 history. They continue to deny voices to the individual. They continue to rule without regard to rights of all to communication. They continue to suppress open and free speech. They have no effective outreach. They continue to incorporate within their structure those who have an historical past of committing wrongs against individuals. The suppression of archives is just about the epitome of fermenting missunderstanding and breeding ignorance.
It is sad to see a child remain ignorant due to lack of knowledge, it is an atrocity to see those with all the knowledge remain ignorant.
