Subject:  [ncdnhc-discuss] ICANN issues Memorandum of Understanding
        report
   Date:  Fri, 16 Aug 2002 17:56:17 -0400
   From: Chris Chiu <CCHIU@aclu.org>
     To: "NCC Discuss list (E-mail)" <discuss@icann-ncc.org>




ICANN has sent a status report concerning its work under the
Memorandum of Understanding with the United States Government. While the
report claims that its "process of implementing new TLDs [Top-level
domains]" as required by the MoU is "well under way," even though ICANN
has only approved 7 such domains during its nearly 4 years in existence,
and is not likely to introduce more TLDs until 2003 at the earliest. In
addition, the report does not specifically mention ICANN's refusal 
to hold further public elections--a decision that apparently contradicts 
the Memorandum, which was "intended to foster the development of 
a private sector management system that, as far as possible, 
reflects a system of bottom-up management."
