Sadly, many people believe what you wrote. The "web", as a term and set of technologies we use, is far younger than the "Internet".

...and I'd be happy to offer any first person testimony you feel you might need. Marina del Rey was a captured show. The decisions were made before the application review process even began.
Is one possible repercussion here that DoC is reticent to allow for the failure of ICANN due to potential liability for fees owed to creditors such as the law firm?
Karl, are you really in any arrangement with ICANN as their legal representative that would preclude you from disclosing such information? I can understand that there might be information of a priveleged nature due to your position. However, I was unaware of any attorney/client relationship. Could you expound/clarify?...and as always, good luck!!!
Is it not ironic that ICANN will remove all semblance of democracy from its midst while in China? This is just the most recent slap in the face of the initial intentions of the White Paper effort.
It appears we will be paying for some time for the ill conceived efforts of Ira Magaziner and his Clintonesque henchmen. I am further disappointed by the lack of concern on the part of our current administration - one that otherwise has taken a far more appropriate path regarding DoC concerns.
The issues are still too far separated from the average user. Until there is greater momentum in the populace for change, there will likely be none.
