I vaguely remember I had asked George about his vote. He was adamant
that a lot more should have been done by ICANN for applicant support and
that the Applicant Support Program that we had designed in haste was
just a plastercast on a wooden leg.

It would be interesting to ask Board members individually if any of them
regret their vote?

Kindest regards,
