[NA-Discuss] Does ICANN need to evolve its code of conduct?

Tue Aug 2 16:14:22 UTC 2011

I'm on the board of directors for a NYS not-for-profit health care 
institution and, while we receive a per meeting fee, I'm told the strict 
standard is that none is allowed. However, state auditors allow it in 
recognition of the challenge in getting effective public oversight 
participation. (Note that this fee would not pay for an overnight stay 
in a ICANN class hotel. And I'm certain rules vary by state. )
