Thank you all for your contribution ..
I was discussing this issue with a friend "Lisa" who asked me if i'm speaking from a law perspective or from a technical perspective ..

For me, i think we should work in parallel in both directions ..

From law perspective
For ICANN, we can deal with that through GAC or something .. we may push towards an agreement regarding this issue ..
I believe that ICANN can help a lot in that ..

ICANN can oppose some constrains on the registrars, and the registries ...

i believe that ICANN can do a lot "if they wanted to :) "...

But,
even if we have the agreements and the laws, some regime systems will pay pass those laws .. of course the laws and the agreements are important to limit that from happening .. but, still it can happen ..

So, we need also to find a technical solution ...

From a technical perspective .. ICANN can encourage private sectors to work together finding a solution ...
For me as a computer engineer, i can start a search to find a technical solution for this issue, but i need a sponsor and a wide support ...

The social communities can fight for the Internet freedom .. but if they are dealing with a regime systems they will not be enough to end that!

So, I believe, we need to start pushing towards an agreement between all the countries "we may ask for the UN or ITU help" ...
In the same time, gather some private sectors to start a research to find a technical solution ..

Thanks Dan for a well thought out contribution to this thread.

ISOC-NY President David Solomonoff has written about some of the pitfalls:

Internet freedom initiatives must be independent of political connotations, run on a decentralized infrastructure, and use technology that is subject to public review by security experts. Most importantly, users must have complete trust in the skills and integrity of the people providing those tools and services.
If they don’t the cure could prove worse than the disease.

I am reading these appeals from Mohab and Hago with genuine empathy, and
yet some concern. The short answer is that in the end there is no silver
bullet, yet there may be smaller opportunities for advancement to be
discovered and exploited along the way.
