It's time for ICANN to go
John Gilmore, original "cypherpunk" and all-around Internet
supergeek, explains why the organization that runs the Internet is
broken.
John Gilmore has spent 30 years shaping Internet culture and
politics. An early employee of Sun Microsystems and a co-founder of
free software pioneer Cygnus Software (now part of Red Hat), he has
worked tirelessly to promote his civil-libertarian views on how
cyberspace should evolve. Entities as diverse as the Electronic
Frontier Foundation, the "cypherpunks" and Usenet's wacky and
subversive "alt" newsgroups can all trace their roots to Gilmore's
efforts -- and, quite often, his funding.
