Which bunch of evil bullies - those UN High Commission of Refugees, those Dutch blue helmets who died trying to stop genocide in Rawanda, and those with decades of service of UNICEF?

Certainly there are elements of corruption but we can not hold the American corporate, not for profit, or federal government as ideals. This kind of comment dismisses the armies of people who work across the globe for compassion, the unarmed NGO participants that have higher death rates than soldiers. I might be in my comfy chair but I have at least the decency to respect those that have left such comforts behind. (I feel the same about condemnations of soldiers for leader's failures.)

Supporting ICANN does not require dismissal of UNICEF. To be willing to undermine the work of the UN to avoid the work of firing a brain cell is shameless, beyond pandering.

Jean
who will be doing trick or treat for UNICEF as a pirate. ARRRRRRRR

actually have no objection to international oversight of the Internet, but the notion of handing it over to that collection of thugs, chiselers
and road agents known as the UN is downright absurd.  Maybe some new
organization, open only to countries with democratically elected
governments, might be the way to go.
