For the record, there is a PSO in the middle of that. IETF, ETSI, ITU, and
W3C (the members of the PSO) each nominated various and sundry for the
three board seats alloted to the PSO, and nominees from ETSI, W3C, and IETF
were selected. ITU was, er, displeased.

For all you talk about ICANN, if the PSO involvement escaped you, your face
deserves to be red.
I am well aware of the PSO and that aspect did not escape me.....what
did escape me (in part i suppose because I was in nepal from oct 13
to nov 6 and totally off net from roughly the 18th of oct to november
3 (trekking near everest)) was that nomination by IETF of Cerf,
Falstrom and Huston was not tantamount to election.

for short photo essay and satire (the masked dancing of the monks at
the tengboche monastery reminded me of ICANN).
