Hi folks,

As folks will know, last year there was a discussion on the GNSO GA mailing 
list concern Rod Beckstrom's *public* TM application for "Bullshitters 
Anonymous". See the February 15, 2010 posts at:

I recently registered the associated domain name, and redirected it to the 
second link (the original post of the thread), which now returns "Page Not 
Found". Someone has censored that page, removing it completely.

ICANN is a venue for *political* speech, which is the most protected form of 
free speech.  On what basis can ICANN justify such censorship, when it is 
critical for the public to understand the background of its executives?

Sincerely,
