ICANN Eliminates Karl Auerbach's Seat

BrianWCarver writes "SiliconValley.com carries an AP report by Anick Jesdanun indicating that ICANN has given Karl Auerbach the boot by eliminating his seat as well as the four other publicly elected seats on ICANN's board. ICANN is the internet's key oversight body, managing the Top-Level Domains (TLDs). You may recall from this previous Slashdot story that Auerbach is the director who successfully sued ICANN to receive access to their records without having to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. 'Though soon leaving the ICANN board, Auerbach vows to keep complaining. And he leaves with no regrets -- he'd do it again.' It'll now be up to organizations like ICANNWatch to keep an eye on ICANN for the public. Is that good enough?'"

Auerbach was a gangster.

[Anonymous Coward]

ICANN is too civilized to embarrass Auerbach in public by saying what really happened, but here's the truth:

He was ejected for attempting to blackmail other members of the board. He offered to "fine-tune" his propaganda/spin campaign so as to concentrate only on defaming some members: "Pay up and I'll go after that guy instead of you."

Corrupt? Absolutely.

This is in addition to Auerbach's well-known involvement in MK-ULTRA and in the treasonous transfer of nuclear secrets to the Lumbago Archipelago, who now, according to NSA threat estimates, are closer to a working nuclear device than North Korea. When that hits CNN, you'll know about it, believe me -- especially considering that the Lumbagan government is a tight little oligarchy run by the three dominant sugar-growing families, whose secret police have executed more human-rights workers per capita than any other nation in history. If you don't think nuclear arms in the hands of that gang of fascist thugs will destabilize the entire southern Pacific Rim and South America, you've got your head in the sand.
