Re: [At-Large] My condolences

I must sound like a warped LP when I say this but always top of mind is this fact. ICANN is an American corporation, no matter what is said. Its sensitivities are of type and its behaviour follows suit. I therefore take it as some progress when manifestly non-corporate interests are invited to the table.

That's a good point, although perhaps not in the way you intended. ICANN is not a regular US corporation -- it is a tax exempt not-for-profit charitable corporation, what's called an NGO in much of the world. I agree that it often acts like a regular for-profit corporation, but it's not supposed to do that, it's supposed to operate for the benefit of the public. R's, John
