[CCWG-ACCT] Testimony from Fadi Chehade at the USA Senate hearing

Wed Mar 11 14:08:54 UTC 2015

I appreciate your thought Roelof.

I have documented as best as I can ICANN from before when it was NEWCO-
contracts, conversations. There is no speculation. The papers speak. IANA
was Jon Postel's baby. Jon was at UCLA working on government projects
before USC got involved. The history of IANA goes back to Darpa and Arpa.
I am welcome to you providing me, Roelof, with documentation of other
governments that funded this Newco evolution.

Greg sidebarred me re the Khadi Trademark.

Here is the Khadi domain that someone in GB bought.
http://www.whois.com/whois/khadi.com As I wrote to Greg the model of
"collisions", ICANN's word for 'you are using my Identity aka
Trademark/Domain", isnt a model of collision that will be new for Domains.
Identity theft or IP/content theft is the same.

So it will be a matter of time before Khadi sues the man in GB, too.

Sincerely
