    ICANN Web site flip-flops again
    by ehasbrouck on Thursday October 01 2009, @07:00AM (#17002)
    User #3130 Info | http://hasbrouck.org
    Today there's a new version of the announcement page [icann.org]. It was posted last night or this morning (30 September 2009 or 1 October 2009), but it's backdated to 29 September 2009.

    Today's version says, "Update, September 25, 2009: The public comment period on this proposed bylaw change has been extended by two months, to 27 October 2009, to allow users of the translated versions to prepare and submit their views. Two proposed accountability measures have been posted by direction of the Board for a total of 120 days of public comments, from 27 July 2009 through 27 November 2009."

    I *think* the references to 27 October 2009 are typos, intended to be 27 November 2009. But there's no further detail about the "direction of the Board" referred to in the latest re-write. The only record of Board action is the resolution [icann.org] setting the comment period at 60 days.

    There was a Board "meeting" by telephone yesterday (improperly closed to public auditing, as usual, in violation of the transparency Bylaw). Minutes haven't yet been posted, but this issue wasn't on the agenda [icann.org], as it would have been required to be if action was contemplated.
