Public comment on the Proposed Renewal of .asia Registry Agreement 

Executive Summary 

Renewal of the .asia registry agreement with DotAsia Organization Limited
should be assessed against the background of the Internet addiction global
problem. According to academic research, Internet addiction disorder (IAD)
results in personal, family, and occupational problems. Internet addiction
can be decomposed into several subtypes of behavior and impulse control
problems, namely, Debauchery, cyber-relationship addiction, net compulsions,
information overload, compulsive web surfing or database searches and net
gaming. Internet gaming has been classified by the World Health Organization
(WHO) as a disease in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11).
There is a large correlation between addiction to online social networks and
generalized Internet addiction. The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback
loops that Facebook has created are destroying how society works and it is
eroding the core foundations of how people behave by and between each other.
Smartphones and the social media platforms they support are turning us into
bona fide addicts. Platforms like Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram leverage
the very same neural circuitry used by slot machines and cocaine to keep us
using their products as much as possible. Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD)
ruins lives by causing neurological complications, psychological
disturbances, and social problems. Smartphone or Internet addiction can also
negatively impact your life by increasing loneliness and depression, fueling
anxiety, increasing stress, exacerbating attention deficit disorders,
diminishing your ability to concentrate and think deeply or creatively,
disturbing your sleep and encouraging self-absorption. The
psychopathological overlap between IA, substance addiction and pathological
gambling suggests a common neurobiological substrate, involving a dopamine
dysfunction of the neural “reward systems”. Debauchery destroys the brain.
Lust and promiscuity, explains Nachman of Breslev, lead to a breakdown of
logic, common sense and even insanity. The proof is that in this decadent
age, so many people are in need of psychiatric medication, whereas millions
suffer from anxiety and depression. All the people who are out of their
minds, because they fell into the difficult disease of looking at women and
all kinds of filthy movies on the Internet, on the iPhone, Facebook, etc.,
to the point of burning lust in real madness. Gambling is a terrible
sickness, even more addictive than alcohol, tobacco and drugs. The lust for
money is the root cause of gambling affliction, which not only drives a
person insane, but makes him or her lose faith in the Creator, and truth and
emuna in His Divine providence, Heaven forbid. The gambler is cruel to his
family. The owners and operators of gambling parlors are outright murderers.

ICANN, some ICANN-accredited registrars, some registry operators and some
Domain Name Registrants are fostering Internet Addiction. DotAsia
Organization Limited is fostering Internet addiction. Fostering Internet
addiction is a disastrous violation of fundamental human rights and GAC
Communiqué – Beijing, People’s Republic of China. Fostering Internet
addiction by ICANN, some ICANN-accredited registrars, some registry
operators and some Domain Name registrants is a violation of applicable
laws. Fostering Internet addiction is a violation of ICANN's Articles of
Incorporation, Board of Directors' Code of Conduct, Governance Guidelines,
Commitments, Core Values and By-Laws.  

In view of the above, we require ICANN to terminate immediately the
activities fostering Internet addiction, including the performance of
relevant IANA functions, relevant gTLD activities, relevant Registry
Operators' activities, relevant ICANN-accredited registrars' activities,
including through RESP and amendments of registry and registrar agreements
and to refrain from renewing the .asia registry agreement with DotAsia
Organization Limited unless DotAsia Organization Limited and its related
companies terminate immediately activities fostering Internet addiction and
the .asia registry agreement is amended to prohibit Internet addiction
activities.
