[ga] Revisionist History

[Danny Younger <dannyyounger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just read through the speech that Paul Twomey gave in Tokyo.  He states:

"In fulfilling its mission, ICANN is guided by four founding principles. They 
are to —
1.      Contribute to stability and security of the Internet
2.      Promote competition and choice for registrants and other users
3.      Forum for multi-stakeholder, consensus-based bottom-up development of 
related policy
4.      Ensure an opportunity for participation by all interested parties on a 
global basis"

Not exactly true.  The Four founding principles were:
1. Stability
2. Competition
3. Private, Bottom-up Coordination
4. Representation

Interesting how the principle of "representation" continues to be perverted 
into "participation" by ICANN's management.
