All,

of the ICANN BoD is a COI?

Google Settles Fraudulent Clicks Suit
(9/8 March 2006)
Google will pay as much as US$90 million to settle a lawsuit brought by
advertisers who allege the company overcharged them for phony sales
referrals generated by "click fraud."  The settlement applies to all
companies that advertised on Google over the past four years.  Google
has offered to provide the companies with credit for the fraudulent
clicks since 2002.  Google will also pay legal costs.  The court has not

yet approved the settlement, however.
