Well, that certainly seems to have woken everyone up. I had speculated that the notice was updated after an outcry, but I made the mistake of giving ICANN the benefit of the doubt. The more fool me.
As to the "icann.org/www.icann.org" thing, it's trivial to default DNS lookups, and obnoxious not to do so. Aliasing the domain to the webserver--its only useful default outside of nslookup etc.--does not unnecessarily foment the web. For an organization whose aim is (or should be) acceptance of its goals, dissuading seekers of their propaganda just because they shortcut the URL is a strategic error. Or, in this case, a humorous oversight. --Blair "It's won't be as regular as The Tick, but it'll be just as creepy/funny."
