We need to share more - even the ICANN root directory

I think it is important for you to know my philosophy about political discourse on the international stage.

We need to get out of the "America is exceptional" mindset and realize that we are little different than most other countries. We've had a head start in some areas, but we're a colonized country just like Cuba and many other countries. We will have a legacy of racism. We don't need to talk down to leaders like President Raúl Castro. 

If we go to baseball games and the like, we can build positive bonds. We can open up trade and eventually he'll moderate his views. Might be a bit slower, but it beats isolating Cuba and trying to force freedom on them.

That's the same way we can get other countries we call totalitarian to moderate their treatment of their own people.

The ICANN root directory is an easy way to get them to develop a more sensitive approach to their own people.

It's just by accident that we developed the internet first. It's our responsibility to let them join in the management of this technology.

That's how the peace will be won in the world. This is how I see the world.
