Whereas the United States funded the initial development of the Internet; American Academics created the structure; and American Internet Companies fostered the idea of the world wide web.
Whereas the ICANN has done its job admirably during the past twenty years;
Whereas the Freedom of Speech afforded by the Internet can only be protected by a country, or the countries, that affords full Freedom of Speech;
Whereas certain countries within the United Nation still restrict the Freedom of Speech and the Freedom of Religion;
Whereas some countries restrict the Freedom of the Press, the Right to Assemble, and the Right to PETITION THEIR GOVERNMENT;
We petition the President and Commerce Department to extend the contract for the ICANN in perpetuity, or at least another 20 years.
