CNN - Interview: The hacker who'll help steer the Internet

You see ICANN as a very U.S.-centric organization, don't you?

The whole structure is very U.S.-based. The staff is in Marina del Rey [in California], and ICANN is an institution more or less formed around the root server file, and that is still owned by the U.S. government.

What would you like to change?

I think it's very important to have different name spaces where different rules apply. The idea of trademark rules is an idea that belongs to a commercial environment, and the Internet is not such a commercial environment, it's a public space.
