At Least One Person Got It Right
So what's ICANN doing with our money? From Bret Fausett
Approved Board Resolutions for 20 December 2004: "The Board approved these resolutions by a vote of 8-1, with an abstention by Mouhamet Diop."
This is where my 75 cents is going? What other charitable contributions does ICANN plan to make? Just off the top of my head, I can think of at least a half dozen similarly worthy causes. This really strikes me as wrong.
My take is that ICANN is making a voluntary, chartitable contribution to a quasi-government agency discussing things outside ICANN's core mission. If ICANN has $100,000 to drop on this, then it can fund At Large election of directors or lower the fees charged to registries and registrars (and hence domain name registrants). This is a bad development and even worse as precedent.
