> comparing him to Crispin and Crocker is out by orders of magnitude.
I'm not sure I agree. With Crispy-Crocker you know what you're getting and why.
Recent postings on the ICANN Blog afford ICANN a stamp of approval from a perceived source of unbiased constructive criticism, which is much more insidious if in fact its neither unbiased nor constructive.
Bret recently mentioned on the Blog that the DotOrg Foundation is one of his consulting clients.
I don't know if Bret is merely providing advice or actively lobbying on DotOrg's behalf, but it certainly would not be in DotOrg's best interests if one of its associates were a vocal ICANN critic.
I'm not questioning Bret's veracity, but even if he's only pushing the Rose-Colored-Glasses-envelope, the clarity of the ICANN Blog is compromised.
IMHO.

Give me a break. This isn't suddenly new. I've been doing consulting for ICANN-related things for a long time. I'm not being paid to use my weblog as a forum for views not my own. My web site is a personal site. Always has been. If someone hires me to work for them, it probably means that they share, or at least tolerate, what they see as my worldview. Personally, I think the folks at ICANN are big enough to tolerate a little criticism from time to time (when it deserves it, I think) without holding it against me (or any client). Unfortunately, I can't say the same for many of those here who see a little support for ICANN (when it deserves it, I think) as some kind of moral infirmity.
