of the Singapore conference. In Berlin, which was supposed to be a venue
to correct some of that damage that the ICANN Interim Board created for itself,
they only succeeded in making compounding their problem as the record
is plainly clear for all to see.
This sort of "Stumbling" and "Bumbling" that the ICANN Interim
Board
seems to be addicted to is indicative in experienced management parlance
as grounded in poor planning, bad internal policy and likely inadequate
leadership.
Again this just shows that the ICANN Interim Board, along with theThanks to Pindar, who had been a wonderful host, all delegates in Singapore
had free connectivity for a week in their hotels, plus a whole bank of
connected linux machines at the conference site and lunches "on the house".
In Berlin, a hotelier was our host. All we got was a totally understaffed
luxury hotel, with a "business center" consisting of one unconnected machine.
In Berlin, the arrogance was in the final communiquee, that boldly
threatened to change the bylaws and pointedly ignored the application for
recognition of the self-constituted Individual Domain name owners.
Berkman center are ill equipped and/or poorly lead to produce such
a situation in Berlin.
Personally I applaud ICANN for trying to be geographically diverse in it'sI wonder who is going to be insulted in Santiago. The locals are going to
be sensitive about a fly-in, fly-out circus that only pretends to be
geographically diverse by having the same people meet in geographically
diverse places.
approach, all be it that that approach is very weak in it's actuality. The
more substantive issue is that at these remote locals where these meetings
are being held the planning is poor. This gets us back to the poor
leadership of the ICANN Interim Board and is a process issue.
