Update on the Search and Appointment of a New President and CEO of ICANN http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-14jun09-en.htm ICANN has once again moved more deeply into MEAT-SPACE and away from Cyberspace with their closed process of selecting a new $700,000 per year CEO. Apparently 100 people applied. Who were they ? Apparently internal ICANN employees applied but all were considered disqualified. Who were they ? ICANN has used 1970s selection processes and now plans to use their big meat-space meeting in Sydney to send Paul T home and usher in the new puppet, all while claiming that ICANN represents The Internet Community. Summary - Unelected, self-appointed Board Members tell each other they represent the Internet Community. They are then told by the U.S. Government (via operatives) what CEO to select. Get out the Rubber-Stamp
