[At-Large] ICANN blog : ICANN Carbon footprint

[Karl Auerbach]

28 *million* air miles works out to nearly 77,000 air miles *per day*!

And 1840 nights in hotel rooms cumulates to over five years, just for 
the board of directors alone (not counting staff or "funded travelers").

When comparing this 1% lifestyle of resource consumption against the 
actual work product created the following phrase comes to mind:

   "parturiunt montes nascitur ridiculus mus" ("The mountain labored and 
brought forth a mouse.")
