@landley @jschauma @ryanc @0xabad1dea I think redistributing the /8 subnets that #DoD holds hostage would've been a strategy, alas I do expect the Orange Tyrant to fuck up the #Internet by messing up #IANA & #ICANN, breaking it with #cyberfacism…
Too many uplifting news, so here comes a bleak question:
Since #ICANN is still a corporation in the USA, subject to US Law and Jurisdiction, what is the worst case scenario if the Human Cheeto decides to weaponize it?
I expect @quinta and maybe @lorenzofb to have a good understanding of such matters, among the ones I follow, but please everyone feel free to pitch in.

people in the #IT field should start referring to ICANN as "mother" same way people back in the day refereed to the Bell Telephone Company as "Ma Bell" back when they had a monopoly. ICANN is the modern equivalent as they hold a monopoly on the Internet's naming system.

If you're thinking of starting a website, it would be best for you to pick a country level domain extension, as opposed to a word-based domain extension.
Corporations can be bought, sold, influenced, regulated, and shutdown, overnight. If avoiding Donald Trump's possible madness is your goal, you don't want to be back into a corner with Corporate America.

Many people, unfortunately, do not read legal documentation. It has become human nature to simply click "OK, I agree".
If more folks did read their terms of services, you would know word-based domain name extensions are not managed the same way as normal with the protection of ICANN.
As it stands now, if Donald Trump really lost his mind, he could shut down much of the Fediverse.

Questa mail di oggi sulla mailing list del #RIPE discute l'opportunità di spostare fuori dal territorio USA una delle due copie della chiave per la firma digitale della "DNS Root Zone".
Per come è regolamentata oggi #IANA ciò non è possibile, è in atto una Call for Comments pubblica per predisporre una proposta di revisione delle regole da sottoporre al direttivo di #ICANN

@gharbeia @aral @EUCommission I mean, #OpenNIC works as an alternative rootzone, and #NameDotSpace allegedly failed at sueing #ICANN for their monopoly.
As for #certificates, @cacert iron'd out that ages ago...
