FYI:
ICANN's Latest Outrage
Bret Fausett, a long-time ICANN observer, describes how ICANN kept its
plans to create a one-sided Nomination Committee secret. It was easy: ICANN
just violated its own by-laws. ICANNs (rather weak) transparency rules
require that minutes of secret Board meetings be published in 3 weeks;
ICANN gave itself just enough extra time to make sure no one knew what was
going on. So much for "transparency".
The article also contrasts the secretive method of picking the NomCom with
the more open methods used previously; where was the Call for Participation?
Mr. Fausett asks why it is that the group selecting candidates for the
At-Large is composed entirely of representatives of Board members and of
groups already well represented elsewhere in the ICANN structure -- and has
no representatives of users.
