Debbie and all,

I am sorry to read your narrowly focused response. What this has
to do with ICANN and Vint is historical in nature in part given
Vints previous employer, Worldcom/con, and is directly related
as Vint works for Google as an "Internet Evangelist" as well as
sits on ICANN's bod as chairman. Fairly simple really.



But Jeff, this is not so much a statement that Vint is a crook. It is more of a statement that busness culture as a whole is full of crooks. I've seen that in North America, Europe and asia. In almost every major corporation if one digs deep enough you'll find criminals busy doing what criminals do best - make money.

I personally don't think this association makes Vint a criminal. Vint just has alot of bad luck. Worldcom, ICANN, and now Google. Its a corporate culture problem more then it is an individual fault.
