"In light of outgoing ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom's admission that the
board is mired in conflicts of interest, another ICANN insider has
spoken up to say the ethical issues go way deeper than what Beckstrom
pointed to. Beau Brendler, chairman of the North American Internet
user advisory committee to ICANN (NARALO), lists ICANN's executive
committee members and their individual conflicts, stating that the
'public interest is not well served by a structure and executive
leadership that's conflicted by the same industry it's supposed to
oversee.' Brendler says the truth about ICANN's 'hundreds' of ethical
conflicts has been buried for years and is only starting to come to
light because of a 'few rebellious voices.'"
