@Stépanie : +1. I totally agree with you. That's the reason of my presence in this fora. ICANN must behave like an International Organization not as a US-based non-for-profit organization only. The Internet is "Mundial"/ I'm warmly inveted you to join us in Policy and Implementation Working group if it's not already done; We really need your "brique" to build the "wall". You're welcomme dear Stephanie.
