I reported the first rumor of this about a week ago.
Rick white will be the fixer for Icann and the one to reassure every
member of congress....that the ICANN rump of cerf, dyson, roberts
and patrick and sims is the only group that should be listened
to...the american people don't count ...just money and big
business...thank you icann ...thank you rick white.....look at the
email addresses below and you will see to whom the rump is handing
control of the internet.
disgustedly,
