Wiping red face.....
I carry a lot of ICANN data around in my head and I am generally
pretty good at it. However my attention has been called to the fact
that I screwed up on my association with Patrick as an ICANN board
member. Following a few URL trails I see that he and Goeff Huston
were IETF nominees but that ETSI and W3C placed their folk on the
board and IETF would up with only Vint.
So apologies to Patrick for placing him on a hook where he does not belong.
Since Vint as the IETF board member wasn't involved with creating
the protocol, I'd imagine that it would be a lot harder for a lawyer
to come after him.... Still I would think that he might have an
interest in how this is handled. ICANN may feel that it gets off
scot free on this one but from my reading of some of the domain
lists, a lot of people are beginning to ask what the hell ICANN is
good for if it does nothing to police the screw ups from NSI's
defective shared registry design.
