Lynn opened his speech at Stockholm with a similar diss of icannwatch. I watched it live remotely so it happened, it may or may not have made the scribe's notes, I don't recall. That Lynn made the current facile statement wouldn't surprise me at all. They're becoming his trademark. -g

I have it on fairly good authority that this is Lynn speaking, not Ben editorializing. Given that ICANN has a multi-million dollar budget, a substantial staff, and the ability to jet its staff around the world to do face to face meetings with governments and everyone else, it's somewhat astonishing that a small group of academics and their friends, all of whom have day jobs doing something else other than ICANN and who rarely can travel, looms so large in ICANN's consciousness.
I guess it's proof that as Justice Brandeis said, "sunshine is the best disinfectant"; and as we know, disinfectant stings.

Knowing that there would be no audio or video recording of Lynn's talk, and likely few other written reports of it, I tried to keep scribe's notes especially close to the actual words used throughout this week's work at APRICOT.
The quotes around the paragraph at interest reflect that the text at issue was, subject to the constraint of how fast I can type, more or less a quote of Lynn's specific words. The words of that particualr section seemed to me carefully-chosen and notable, and for that reason I attempted to report them verbatim.
