[CPWG] ICANN position on the Facebook outage

[John McCormac]

The problem with Facebook was self inflicted. Perhaps the simplest 
solution for ICANN would be a one page text with a graphic explaining 
that Facebook (or other large company) is not the Internet.

The discussion on today's call seemed like a kind of regulatory 
overreach with a desire to have ICANN tell large companies how to 
construct their own network architecture. This really is not an ICANN issue.

For those who haven't seen it yet, the CloudFlare blog post on what 
happened with Facebook is worth reading:
