Karl Auerbach Wins Right To Inspect ICANN Records

Siobhan Hansas writes: "Karl Auerbach was in court today fighting for the right to inspect and copy documents he first asked to see in 2000, shortly after he became a member of the Board of Directors. Salon have the AP story. Auerbach won the right to inspect documents, but not to copy them, and was required to give ICANN 10 days notice of release of any information marked "confidential" to give them the opportunity to seek a court order stopping him." M : A first-hand report from the hearing makes good reading.

    as well as, "openness, sharing of knowledge, etc..." have ceased to be in the nue improved terrorist-free world. i believe that the puppet (affectionately known as W) has signed a bill effectively limiting such activity, as it might promote a loss of corporate income in the coming quarters.

  3. The best way for Auerbach to fix ICANN by Rogerborg · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Is the same method that Claus von Stauffenberg tried back in 1944 to get rid of a paranoid delusional dictatorship. He just needs to use a bigger briefcase.

    Am I joking? I'm not entirely sure. I believe that ICANN has slipped from beyond commonplace self serving greed and incompetence into blatantly self preserving malice bording on genuine evil. The evil they inflict on any individual is small, but summed up, they are having a dreadful long term effect on what could be a wonderful medium for We, the People.

    Am I really advocating killing the board of ICANN? Mmm. Probably not. But I doubt if I'd shed a tear if an asteroid hit their next board meeting.
