[IFWP] hypocrisy (was: Time out....)

[Milton Mueller]

Who has funded Kent Crispin's peripatetic travel schedule? (No, it isn't
Kent's piggybank) Who has funded the presence of a certain PAB/POC person
at every one of the WIPO hearings? Who funded the ITU's participation in
gTLD-MoU? Who has funded Don Heath's movements about the planet? Is there
any different in principle between that and NSI sending its allies to
meetings? Let's quit the posturing here. There are two battling factions.
Both of them spend lots of money to send people to meetings. The idea that
one of those factions is a pure-hearted, noble, non self-interested group
of amateurs is one of the more transparently ludicrous self-delusions
we've seen advanced on this list. That kind of mentality is one of the
reasons why the factional divisions have been sustained for three years
and counting.....
