🎯Summary⚡️ - new protocols (#Handshake $HNS) should be aware that registrars are circling the wagons to increase political lobbying efforts to support laws/rules/regulations that eliminate competition and would create a fracture in the monopoly that registrars have on TLDs.

Question: What is the impact of fragmentation on ICANN's mission?
Ram Mohan - "...there are geopolitical types of concerns as well, now earlier this year we saw how ICANN, the organization, and the board responded to requests to take TLDs off the root, things like that..."

"...so I think ICANN in that way is setting a good example of how to respond to those kinds of requests that are a little bit more in the geopolitical area."

NOTE: One of the main reasons to be aware of how ICANN controls the root of the internet and outwardly works hand and hand with government in the name of safety is the current veil vs. privacy. Not sure if that's true? #FBI Look at gac.icann.org/file-asset/psw…
Internal poll about current state of Internet fragmentation:

ICANN panel discussion included a summary of defining terms in a way that crafts a base layer of regulation that makes one side (ICANN) fall into the "safe" category where as outside protocols (#Handshake $HNS) will be defined as "unsafe". That is the basis of regulation.

The unveiling of ICANN's 'unpaid good-actors', in my opinion, they are showing themselves to be pushing for a more tyrannical angle of DNS control, which as Aristotle defined "tyranny" is governmental control that rules only in favor of their own self interest.

Farzaneh Badii either hasn't done her homework on ICANN's own information about Blockchain DNS or might have missed the email? (mm.icann.org/pipermail/cpwg…)

Difference between blockchain identifiers (e.g. @unstoppableweb) that DO NOT USE DNS and those that do (#Handshake $HNS #HNS) and how non-DNS "...could cause confusion and when there is confusion there is always opportunity for security problems..."

The panel opened up the mic on-site for questions. From the english questions (there was a french question I could not understand) - the focus was on freedom from governmental intervention, especially when it came to control of gTLDs. Bravo!

Great question from audience asking for clarification about decentralized DNS vs. centralized DNS from Ram Mohan, who more or less passed it off as creating a parallel definition set in order to create a "centralized" user experience. IMO, I smell 🐂💩

Jorge Cancio icannwiki.org/Jorge_Cancio brought up a valid point of protecting against ICANN + governmental interference - proposed an international agreement vs. currently 'good will' system w/no guarantees (i.e. sanctions).

Right on cue, with community worrying about too much power, Chris Buckridge steps to the mic and ripe.net/about-us/press… who quickly praised the #WEF for their 2016 report. www3.weforum.org/docs/GITR2016/… - Hard push for 'definitions' to prevent fragmentation.

Another push for definitions - Alternative roots have always existed but now that blockchain exists, should they be included and brought in under ICANN's control if they are looking to create a definition...

Panel's final summary comments nearly ALL focused on the geopolitical level as it integrates and operates within and around ICANN and it's technical capabilities. Sounds like there has been a blatant move of gov't into ICANN & some disagree! FIN!

⚡️ICANN panel finished by kicking off the "Global Digital Compact" a U.N. initiative?!⚡️ un.org/techenvoy/glob… - I don't know much, but I do know that a push by the UN through ICANN doesn't leave me with warm fuzzies of decentralization, huh?

Sorry for spelling mistakes and again - if the YouTube video is pulled down, the backup will be available elsewhere with the same timestamps.
