Eric, I deeply agree with your two beads. We made the choice of ISO 3166-1 in 1978 because in 1978 the international communications world was made of monopolies. Domestically, it was made of cities, the economic/communicational importance of which was measured by the capacity to sustain the return on the investment of an access point. We then turned the world into the *additional* capacity of X121, which is attached to the legal topology of the networks (DNICs) while monopolies started being transferred to local law. When, in 1983, the internet was created, the DNS permitted 35,635 different visions of the catenet internetting project (Classes). This accommodated one vision per government and many visions by kind of populations, trades, cultures, languages, cities, urban agglomerations, indigenous polities, linguistic and cultural communities, even iso3166-3 regions and within that vision by as many units as you could wish (TLDs). This was culturally opposed by the IETF monolectic culture. This confused the US point of view (of the IP internetting project of the catenet) with a single unique "technically correct" perspective. This restricted the whole digisphere catenet to the sole ICANN/NTIA "IN" Class, the NICs to the sole INTERNIC, and the world to a single Virtual Global Network. This is what one calls "the BUG" for "being unipolarly global". The blessing of that BUG is that it is not in the technology, but rather in some people minds. It is not in the technology because it is not in the internet project of Vint Cerf (EIN 48). It is actually an opposition to the completion of the EIN 48 that has two motivations: the proof of the catenet concept and the capacity for the resulting internetting to be transparent (and, therefore, neutral) to other communication technologies. The most used communication technology is human languages, then trade jargons, etc. >Now the second bead. > >The "how many {sociologists,...} participate in IETF processes?" >laundry list manages to miss one area of work by "governments" which >might have, and still may, inform the IETF.

That character set exists. It is ISO 10646. Its maintenance agency is Unicode. This works pretty well except at the IETF where it now nearly works pretty well due to Vint Cerf (Chair of the WG/IDNAbis), Patrik Falsftöm, and John Klensin. The IETF difficulty results again from the BUG that nearly blocked IDNA2008 until Pete Resnick and Paul Hoffmann came with an IETF worded response to our French language related opposition. French language is a typical representative of the need, in a non-typographic context, of non-ISO 10646 supported orthotypographic features. Their RFC 5895 permitted the WG/IDNAbis consensus, but it was only accepted by the IESG as a private contribution for information. >The observation has been made frequently, and by many, that language >is an "internet governance" issue, and in fact, the need for correct >resolution of resources "named" in the Han script, encoded in UTF-8, >lead to the illumination of a second root server constellation, >leading immediately to a consistency of publications problem -- a >first order problem in "internet governance", yet both "governments" >and "the technical community" treat this as a solved problem, >overlooking the distinction between the corpus of text associated >with resources, and the corpora of texts which comprise text resources.

Yes and no. They are delayed in understanding and implementing the Vint Cerf EIN 48 project. Its first motivation has been met by the US Government that sponsored it. There is a global internetting of the world's catenet. The network of the networks. Now, the technical community must understand how it actually *has* fully addressed the second motivation; and the governments, the industry, the academics, and informed users must be given the technical "go-ahead" to use it. For the virtual networks of the network of networks. This is a big issue and a big responsibility because it might lead to a total mess if, when opening the throttle of the full implementation of the IETF technology, it does not work. So, concerned leaders did three things: - the first thing IAB and IETF completed was to assemble together with ISOC, IEEE, and W3C. - then they delegated the ultimate responsibility to the economy (not them, not the governments) through the OpenStand paradigmatic statement. I appealed RFC 6852 because the IESG did not inform the community of the real nature of the decision. Then, I appealed the IAB for relinquishing its responsibilities of the ultimate referent. I, this way, prepared an appeal for the ISOC in order to force it to be that referent, at least one time: to tell who was the referent of the OpenStand, or to open this digital global governance issue. Who ultilmately addresses technical conflicts? - the ICANN also wished to relinquish its responsibilities in the possible fiasco and dilute them in a "globalization" - whatever it may mean as long as it is solemnly sponsored by Governments. They joined the technology leaders in Montevideo and transfered the problem to Govs, to be discussed in Sao Paulo. The appealing proposition, for everyone to discuss it, is that the decision is made on an undefined MS basis. The problem is that being authorized by the IETF, ICANN, or Govs or not, the throttle is leaking. It must be progressively opened before it blows-up. This has to be made in order, as per the IETF proven experience of testing running codes. In order to provoke it, I chose one limited and progressive way (that can develop by itself, if it works; and prevent false hopes in an ambitious project, if it does not). This is the "HomeRoot", fringe to fringe layer, experimentation project based upon the VGN concept. It will lead to a polycratic experimental decision, to be documented at the proper layer SDO if it was adopted. - HomeRoot means that participating users will use and exchange their own root data, from their exploration of the Classes' top zones. - fringe to fringe means that end to end IETF technology will be 100% respected and used as per RFC 1958 (at the fringe) and RFC 5895 (on the user side). - VGN means that every participating user will consider the global catenet as its own virtual global space through his personal NIC (the same way as Govs are to deal with their digital space sovereignty) participating in the catenet global metadata registry system (MDRS) - polycracy means the effective globalization of the MS decision emergence by mutual information and individual decisions. - the proper layer (fringe) is the presentation layer six in OSI terms. However, the lack of an Internet presentation layer in its initial phase turns out to be a wise approach, as it happens that a presentation layer on the user side (PLUS) at an intelligent use interface (IUI) under the user's computer assisted supervision can be far more secure, rewarding, and robust. To concert those issues between users and IETF participants is the IUCG@IETF non-WG purpose. This represents, therefore, the experimentation of a progressive possible shift (under the terms of the ICANN ICP-3 currently effective policy) from a limited set of VGNICs (mainly ICANN, China, ORSN) to an emergence of many of them. Such a possible emergence souhld (as per the WSIS resolutions) be discussed at the IGF (and possibly multilaterally among Telcos and Govs (Sao Paulo) as part of their patch of the WCIT Dubai disagreement). The VGNICS (<http://vgnics.net/>http://vgnics.net) perspective is, therefore, in line with subsidiarity/substitution to be used to address the diversity in the RFC 5895 response. There is no centralized responsibility to take, no solemn decision in order to open the throttle: this has been already decided. The interest to participate or pursue is not to be multilaterally or multistakeholderly sustained: in a people centered desired information society (Geneva declaration) people will decide if they are interested. Everyone, Gov, corporate, CS NGO, individual user is welcome to help, consider and deploy the supervision of his/her/its own VGN. And see if it works, and if he/she/it is pleased with it or not. The current idea, based upon the past community dot-root project (as per ICP-3), the description of the ORSN experience, and the Chinese solution leads to focus on five proposed initial steps, as seen from the complementary point of view of a VGN manager: 1. EzoP (exploration des zones primaires/exploration of the top zones) 2. HomeRoot (documentation of the implementation of a local resolution capacity based on the EZoP outputs). 3. MDRS (extended IANA information, adapted to each kind of VGN, for the organization of VGNICs) 4. I*Book (consolidation of the RFCs and other standards to give VGN administrators, operators and developers a maintained common reference and training book). 5. Netix (an integrated network oriented Posix commands extension) for InterPLUS (inter+) operations and interapplications development. Last but not the least, the VGN concept addresses the accountability issue in a polycratic manner: users will be able to select their VGNIC on a competition basis, along with the ICANN by-laws, and the OpenStand principles. jfc
