Oink, oink, like pigs feeding at the public trough, at the expense of registrants…..
I don’t have a problem with ICANN Directors getting reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement – if they are doing their jobs.
In that vein, I’d like to know whether they had advance notice of CEO Chehade’s meeting with President Rousseff of Brazil last month, which resulted in a call for a 2014 ‘Summit’ that seems to aim at stripping US of IANA contract counterparty status, to be replaced by some as yet undefined authority. And if they knew, did they endorse it? And if they didn’t, what’s their view of all this?
