Re: [ga] ICANN Board unanimously approves .biz/.info/.org registry agreements by 13-0

I have to agree. But it is not unexpected. The ICANN Board has absolutley no regard for the public wishes or benefit. Yes, Veni, since the vote was unanimous, obviously you are included in that.

Where is the bottom-up consensus on this issue?

  According to Ron Jackson, editor of DNJournal.com, the ICANN BoD has unanimously approved the .biz/.info/.org registry contracts. He received notice from  Phil Corwin, Legal Counsel for the Internet Commerce Association, who is attending the ICANN meeting in São Paulo.

  "After one hour of discussion the ICANN Board approved this morning by a 13-0 unanimous vote of all participating members to approve the revised gTLD agreements as published in October. Key reasons for taking action at this this time was the failure of the GNSO Council to complete its PDP process on registry agreements and the recent approval of the .com agreement and the consequent desire for uniformity in these agreements. The need to provide incentives for registry investments in security was also a key factor cited by several Board members. The meeting is still ongoing. I will provide a much more detailed memo on the Board discussion this weekend after I return to DC." - Phil Corwin, ICA

  This behavior by the ICANN Board of Directors is completely disgraceful considering they claim to serve the best interests of the public and the nearly unanimous opposition to the proposed .biz/.info/.org registry agreements.

  Let the class action lawsuits begin!
