Submission + - New CyberSecurity Constituency at ICANN

Beezlebub33 writes: A new petition has been filed under the GSNO (Generic Names Supporting Organization) of ICANN to create a new constituency the CyberSafety Constituency. Existing constituencies include "Commercial and Business", "gTLD", "Registrars", "Non-commercial", etc. The new proposed one on CyberSafety is in the "interest of balancing free speech and anonymity with the values of protection and safety in developing Internet policy within ICANN". If that doesn't raise red flags all by itself, consider that the person submitting it is Cheryl B. Preston. She's listed in the petition with the organization Brigham Young University, but she's part of CP80. She's suggested limiting content on port 80 to the 'right' things, and other stuff can go on other ports, so it can be appropriately filtered by the authorities. Guess who gets to decide what goes on which ports?
