Not very pleasant developments happening in India in recent months. Just got to know that a multiple-times ICANN Fellow & current ISOC Delhi officebearer has been involved in shady domain businesses and recently organised a Domain Auction which was nothing but a joke with auctioneer indulging in shill bidding to manipulate prices / grab domains, not paying to seller whose domains were sold at the auction and a buyer who had won many domains and paid but didn’t get the domains.
The following forum posts have detailed info about what happened at the auction

The last 12 minutes show the auctioner bidding on the domain himself.

I am surprised how such people have been getting nominated to positions that require high levels of ethics, integrity???
