Re: [ga] Increased foreign attendance

Sotiris and all,

Your right of course Sotiris.  I believe Vint Cerf is the Chairman of
ICANN's Bod and he works for Google as a "Internet evangelist",
in Sr. Management.  I have spoken out about this being a COI, however
Dr. Dierker, our chair, seemed to be of the belief that such may not
be the case, and indeed he may be correct.  He also may not be
depending on some legal bars that may have been met.  However
such a matter is one that court of law would be the proper venue
to determine should a viable filing/complaint be brought.  So far,
no one has done so.  Maybe soon?
