It did not go to "F"
I rather like the idea that Jon managed that service for about 10 years,
from its inception, and then is declared to have hijacked, it in the course
of his continuing to do that management.
well he did redirect the root - said it was a big experiment. so if he
didn't redirect it to F - where did it go?
And folks wonder why anyone would be skeptical about running ICANN in a
fishbowl.
in the beggining operating ICANN in a fishbowl would of worked - but now
it's too late for that. failure is by now guranteed.
