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.

    I'm sorry, you have his name wrong.

    During Standard Time, his name is Karl Auerbach.

    But during Daylight Savings Time, his name is Karl Adenauer!

    Like all good non-profit organizations based in the US, ICANN has become corrupt, money-grubbing, and responsible to no-one for their actions.

    Do they offer a course in this or something?

    Auerbach is one of five elected members on the 19-member ICANN board. His term expires in November, and ICANN already has said it will not hold another round of elections.

    Gee, isn't that convenient? Well, I suppose I don't blame them; if I had the choice and I were them I wouldn't, either.
