[At-Large] Cruz' revenge

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hello Roberto,

By "pun intended" it loosely meant" I hope you were joking" ;-).

That said, yes you are right about how press could get an headline around
this. However I am glad that ICANN is indeed being transparent with this by
providing update on happenings to the community. I think Alberto gave a
good 4 line summary that we can always forward to any press that wants to
relate mere meeting equipment incidence to imply incompetence in operation
of the IANA Function.

Regards
