Then there's the potential impact of Ukraine's plan on everyday Russians. Experts say cutting Russia from the internet makes Russian dissidents less safe and could give the Kremlin exactly what it wants — a public without access to outside information. https://t.co/f2rSzUpxdE — PolitiTweet.org

It's a technical problem because the internet involves lots of different actors working together to keep the internet working. All it takes is one or two defectors for Ukraine's plan to fall apart, even if you could achieve consensus at ICANN. https://t.co/f2rSzUpxdE — PolitiTweet.org

As @mitchstoltz and @MalloryKnodel explain, Ukraine faces both a political problem and a technical problem at ICANN. It's political because (1) ICANN studiously wants to remain apolitical, and (2) ICANN is decentralized in structure and process. https://t.co/f2rSzUpxdE — PolitiTweet.org

I spoke to @vgcerf, one of the fathers of the internet, about Ukraine's letter to ICANN. Cerf described Ukraine's request as an unprecedented ask. It "would have negative consequence in many dimensions," he tells me. https://t.co/f2rSzUpxdE — PolitiTweet.org
