Moss describes the glitch, and elaborates on how ICANN technical teams are working to test a fix for the issue that led to a temporary suspension of the application system on 12 April. The CSO answered a variety of questions from Brad White, ICANN's Director of Global Media Affairs, ranging from the discovery of the issue to why ICANN decided to pull the application system offline.

Travel funding re-allocation
by Beau Brendler April 19, 2012

April 19, 2012

Greetings. I said we would wait until Thursday to consider any potential objections to the re-allocation of travel funding from Ganesh to Dev. This being Thursday, I have, in fact, received no objections, and one note of endorsement. Therefore, I believe it is appropriate to say that Evan's proposal for travel funding is endorsed by the NA. Thanks BB

Re: [NA-Discuss] Tim Berners- Lee and UK Snooping
by Carlton Samuels April 18, 2012

April 18, 2012

I saw and read it with some interesting too. Especially since deep in the story, it finally came thru that he's not really against snooping in principle but moreso about how it was managed: "He said that if the government believed it was essential to collect this kind of sensitive data about individuals, it would have to establish a "very strong independent body" which would be able to investigate every use of the surveillance powers to establish whether the target did pose a threat, and whether the intrusion had produced valuable evidence. But he said that since the coalition had not spelled out an oversight regime, or how the data could be safely stored, "the most important thing to do is to stop the bill as it is at the moment". I do share his sense of foreboding on the easy ride we give Facebook and Google in relation to this same issue. And the sense that a backlash is inevitable. - Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 7:00 AM, <na-discuss-request(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org > wrote: > Send NA-Discuss mailing list submissions to > na-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org > > ------------------------------ > > Message: 2 > Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:33:01 -0400 > From: Glenn McKnight <mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com> > Subject: [NA-Discuss] Tim Berners Lee and UK Snooping Legislation > To: na-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org > > > http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/apr/17/tim-berners-lee-monitoring… > > > -- > Glenn McKnight > mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com > skype gmcknight > twitter gmcknight > Http://www.globalcatalysts.com > http://newsocialmedia.wordpress.com > > >
