Subject:	Disagreed: Seeking assistance by the United Nations
Message:
By seeking assistance from the UN you are only getting into a political nightmare that will ultimately disrupt the job of ICANN.  In my opinion ICANN should operate as separate from governments as it can in order to do it's job properly. When government gets involved here in the United State, elected officials draft laws to limit and regulate the Internet and it's bodies.  Traditional politics are about limiting and controlling while ICANN's politics are about preserving the Internet's general structure and making sure it is available to all regions of the world.  Mixing the two is not a good idea because they will clash with something that can only hurt ICANN at this point.
