I noticed that lack of disclosure too, but wondered less about Jones Day (that is, Joe Sims) and more about whom they might have picked to replace the Arthur Andersen consultants that ICANN used for the evaluation of new TLDs. These days the consultants could be otherwise discredited by the time they report, or they could already be discredited. If it is correct that Robert Blokzijl hasn't been re-(s)elected to ICANN's Board, perhaps they'll give it to him. I'm joking, but I suspect there will be controversy when the consultant is named. Finding a truly impartial outsider seems not to be something ICANN can manage. -g

Love 'em or hate 'em (polarisation is popular these days, it seems), they are jsut doing their job. Sure, we would do it differently, but it's not our responsibility. It - currently, at least - is theirs. Let them get on with it. The more the screw up, the more chance ICANN will be rebid. The more they do the right thing, well, then that's good news.

Now that is just about as absurd as it being Blokzijl, and therefore halfways believable coming out of the ICANN funhouse. Still, it would be nice if you could provide a credible reference for your assertion. -g

It's not a big deal until the $125k is figured in. Then it becomes a big deal.
Stuart: Hm, we need to find a use for this money, since we already know who we're going to approve.
Louie: Well, Kent's been a good boy, let's throw him a bone.
Kent: I know all. I see all. I tell nobody but you.
Stuart: Okay, suits me. Here, Kent, here's $125k, craft me a report that gives the most favourable nod to you know who
Kent: You know who? Karl Auerbach?
Louis: No, you idiot, he's the other you know who. This is the you know who who gets .ORG.
Kent: Oh, yeah, them.
