Re: [ga] Re: Experts agree: ICANN staff (and board members) must undergo mandatory drug testing, credit checks, and psych exams

This link carried links and also a brief description of the history of the 
handling of the report:  
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-16jun10-en.htm

I also just got a reference to a WG getting all pissed off at Beckstrom for 
attacking the credibility of the group prior to them posting their report.

I am getting the distinct feeling that ICANN Staff hates Beckstrom. I cannot 
make an opinion of the man's work.  But I can tell you that if his staff is 
coming out against him -- routinely that he is not doing his job.  Do not 
mistake internal staff remarks being made in public as transparency or openness 
-- It is rather disrespect and slovenliness. 

Earlier we saw Frank F. come out and play the fool -- clearly against 
Beckstroms' wishes.  Earlier we saw Michaels appointed to oversee this list and 
she just told Beckstrom to f---Off right in public.

Combine all this with the strange JAS Rec: for drug and erratic behavior 
screening and you start to get the picture that the Captain cannot sail the 
ship and that the crew is out of control.

But soccer fans, beer drinkers and people who attend church services
would still be allowed? That's inconsistent.

Why not testing every member of this mailing list for trolliness? It
would allow to reduce seriously the load on the mail servers...

And ISC and NLnetLabs employees, since we all use their
software. (Same thing for PostgreSQL and Oracle Corp.)
