[At-Large] [council] e-Crime and Abuse of the DNS Forum: a global perspective

Thu Mar 5 07:29:00 EST 2009

Mike,the term "narrow mission" concerns the "lean ICANN" part of its mission
creep. What is external to its "narrow mission" is precisely the ICANN crime
Brother Jeff Williams refered to. When Denise says that ICANN has no control
nor responsibility, she implies "in the JPA and its By-Laws". So, everything
can smoothly appears to be respected, except that the ICANN hijacking they
are very much concerned about has already been perpetrated.
