Joe, Ben and all,
Joe is correct here. It has become painfully clear that neither ICANN
or the Berkman center in this process have much if any respect for
the privacy of any individual. This history is very clear indeed. Such
behavior on the part of ICANN and now it seems the Berkman center
is astounding in the face of legal jurist prudence, and common practice,
not to mention several federal legal statutes.
My biggest concern here is that if the DOC/NTIA is supposed to
be overseeing this process, why they have not counceled both the
ICANN (Initial?) Interim Board and the Berkman center in this regard...
Possibly this is yet another area that the House Commerce
Comission needs to look into in some detail.
