[At-Large] Respectful Online Communication and Behavior

[Karl Auerbach]

> ICANN's Ombudsman, Frank Fowlie, recently posted a web page on Respectful
> Online Communication and Behavior

I must say that I found that to be a rather strange document.

It posits ICANN as some fantasy world in which disinterested 
philosophers discuss and debate.

That is in hard conflict with the reality of ICANN as a political 
cauldron in which deeply antagonistic interests contest with one another 
for power and profit.

Many actors within ICANN could be in violation of the ethical 
requirements of their professions were they to trim the sails of their 
advocacy on behalf of their clients to conform with that document.
