Michael J. Bauer
(http://forum.icann.org/lists/cyber-safety-petition/msg00202.html)
complains that the issues cited in the CyberSafety Constituency NOIF are
social problems, not technical ones. In the next paragraph he says that
anonymity and unfettered free speech (which are social issues) are the
two most valuable points of the Internet. Apparently ICANN should be
involved in social issues, but only those that Mr. Bauer deems
important.
Also, towards the end of the comment, Mr. Bauer suggests that
prevention and prosecution of criminal activity is better addressed by
law enforcement around the globe. Yet, decisions made at ICANN (such as
those relating to the WHOIS database and fast flux hosting) are highly
relevant to the existence of cybercrime and the ability of law
enforcement to respond.
Finally, is there something wrong with trying to solve social problems
with technical solutions? Let’s not limit ourselves in how we go about
solving the world’s problems.
