ICANN Strikes it Rich!
by Carlton Samuels Nov. 4, 2012

Nov. 4, 2012

.... "*the money is being held in a non-interest bearing account , partly due to.......*". Well I'll be a tinker's damn! Surely not this? To make what dumb ass point? For political correctness sake? When the interest alone could fund a decent outreach program? ...'judgment has fled to brutish beasts. And men have lost their reason'! http://domainincite.com/10929-icanns-new-gtld-fund-at-352-3m? utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+DomainIncite+%28DomainIncite.com%29 - Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================

ICANN Keeps it Money in a Non-Interest Bearing Account!
by Carlton Samuels Nov. 4, 2012

Nov. 4, 2012

This thing has got my goat. I'm now prepared to say this decision by ICANN management approximates a gift.....to less than deserving bankers. And all this while some elements cavil and carry-on about an At-Large mission to the IGF 2012! Its as if there is no understanding that money has time value! Now, I spent a little while as a senior banker. And while I'm sanguine that bankers tend to the poorly with use of information, they surely in this case must know this is a gift in spades to them. One of my distinguished correspondents, a guy I know thinks outside the box, had this to say "*A decision to forego fair market value is essentially a decision to gift that fair market value onto another.*". Yessir, that it is! And we could fairly say this decision constitutes a repudiation of the duty of the officers to the public benefit. - Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================
