Re: [At-Large] ICANN Acronym Buster (from GNSO Council list)

May be, but just saying what the acronym stands for -- without explanation -- is of very limited use IMO. I have found that just typing "<acronym> ICANN" into Google (which most people can do right from their browser) usually provides satisfactory results -- including for the timely acronym "DAG" which is missing from the above site. We know that ICANN can create acronyms faster than most people can memorize them, so I just let an automated system such as Google keep track. - Evan
Try IRT in both the google method and Acronym Buster. I think it might be useful as a reminder tool. I can be on calls or in sessions at ICANN meetings and wonder what someone's talking about when the keep using an acronym I've forgotten, becomes a distraction from the substance. But I mainly intended mentioning the "buster" to be light hearted :-) Adam On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 11:12 PM, Evan Leibovitch <evan@telly.org> wrote:
