According to page 2 of this article [iht.com], "Susan Crawford...agrees that the VeriSign suit could benefit Icann's mission" and "Crawford also once represented VeriSign when she was in private law practice in 2002."
Also, she represented Snapnames [dnso.org] (who is currently suing ICANN [icann.org]) regarding WLS.
She regularly fails [blogware.com] to disclose that on her blog, when she's cheering on SnapNames and VeriSign.
If ICANN wanted another pro-VeriSign board member to rubber stamp their monopolist proposals, they succeeded through this appointment. Was it that difficult to find qualified nominees without such major conflicts of interest, who are truly independent? How many issues will she remember to recuse herself from that impact her current or former clients? It remains to be seen...

I feel the need to raise my point on GeorgeK's earlier comment on Suzan Crawford's "conflict of interest." If what he says is correct, and I believe it be, then let me be heard. I would like to expand on a comment made by George K on the 4th Nov. You asked, how difficult is it to find nominees without major conflicts of interest who are truely independant? I want to raise this point, Michael Palage, a current ICANN board member has been a walking conflict of interest for some time. His past/present dealings with afilias newstar, etc, and has now got his finger in the .xxx pie. I would appreciate your comments and thoughts on this board members conflicts...

During my travels of recent weeks and indeed the word onthe wire is that there is growing concern with Michael Palage's involvement with .xxx and ICANN. How can the ICANN board continue to operate while Palage flaunts himself infront of them like a latter day Napoleon? He must be called to account and atleast explain his motivation and involvement with .xxx. My understanding is that all board-members should have a common goal in promoting ICANN. At this stage Palage's actions are questionable and he should be called to task. Vint Cerf and his merry men should at the very least show some leadership and put common decency and call for an inquiry into Palage's actions. I believe he is a far cry from being above the law.
