ICANN Director Sues ICANN for Access to Records

According to an EFF press release (press release mirror) today, Karl Auerbach (the North American elected representative to ICANN's board) filed suit (petition mirror) today against ICANN itself to obtain financial and other records that he has been seeking to obtain since December 2000. As a bit of background, according to general summaries that ICANN has released, it now spends about $6 million per year (for a job that used to be done by volunteers); roughly half of all the money it spends goes to the law firm of Jones Day.

And to think that little Michael Sims is the one slamming users like FortKnox and myself for heavily contributing comments (in my case), and stories (in FortKnox's case), for the Slashdot editors to remain employed, simply because we "overuse" this site, is perposterous! Thanks for the link.

(Or was it jamie slamming the overuse of slashdot by certain users? - Can't remember, and don't care to go searching FortKnox's comments right now to find out). Oh well, they were both part of what apparently, was the ill-fated censorware.org project, so I guess you could both say they played a role in the whole debacle.

When I was reading the site today, I noticed a small, probably typographical error. I would appreciate it if you could correct this error by reposting the current article under the category: "It's Funny. Laugh."
