Richard, WIlliam and all,
William, Richard is correct here. Read the transcripts of the Berlin
meeting
for further detail.
I don't blame NSI for not signing on with the ICANN "Accreditation
Agreement"
as it is not valid and was not supported by the Stakeholder community.
Nor has the ICANN Membership (Yet to be created) been able to VOTE
on this "Accreditation Policy" for ratification. It is not likely to have
the
opportunity to at this stage. This is yet another example of how the
ICANN Interim Board has violated the White Paper and the DOC/NTIA
has done nothing to address this glaring problem...
And Esther Dyson has the unmitigated GALL to claim she is for
the "Little guy". How disingenuous does it need to get to see that
Esther Dyson and the rest of the ICANN is fraudulent, misleading,
disingenuous, and dangerous to the Internet community?
