<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Mehmet,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I dont know any intellectual property or patent right for the root file.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Besides, what would be left behind from the global Internet if the networks of other nations left “the network of networks” ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In the international field, states/governments act according to their interests, and when these interests are perceived as unpleasant, they may need to be polished with nice excuses/lies. As an ordinary person,
I have every right to not to buy or blame these lies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Th excuse of “the need for US authority over the root for the stability and security of DNS” was invented relatively new, in 2005 (arguably as a reaction to the tension in WSIS). After all the IANA’s technical
evaluations and ICANN Board’s decision, is there really a need for the approval of NTIA?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It is kind of a weird timing to discuss these when “that country now sees an opportunity to hand over this responsibility”
</span><span style="font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D">J</span><span style="color:#1F497D">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I guess that pressures from other nations (how you dare?!? ;)), especially the EU must have helped it to open its eyes to catch this opportunity.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">But why now? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Khaled’s article gives me an answer; because of the success of the current CEO of ICANN.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Maybe also because of the coming WSIS+10 events. Any other opinion?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Nevertheless </span><span style="font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D">J</span><span style="color:#1F497D">, I think we must be discussing now not “why” but rather “how” as Fahd asked for.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Sorry Fahd, I am an average, unintelligent, lazy, poor internet user who only asks for a free and open youtube and facebook but I have my faith in the technical community , go and get this transition right bros!
</span><span style="font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D">J</span><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">Interesting conversation! Like with many things in live "the obvious is not the reality" and for any global initiative there has to be balance between the stakeholders. As much as one country might
have funded something or progressed something the question of motive, interest and benefit has to be asked. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">The country you refer to is not known for selfless actions – at all - maybe the opposite. The country teaching the rest of the world about democracy is probable one of the least democratic ones. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thank you very much for your e-mail.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We all have to play our roles, that is undestandable.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">But, after all these years’ performance (evidences are many, we all know them), how can one refer to a “fact” as a “perception”, sorry but that is not understandable at least to me.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Nevertheless, applauses go to NTIA for the announcement.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
