Hi Swerve,

I don't think Joe ever worked for ICANN as an employee. He was their
outside legal counsel working for the law firm Jones/Day. They have an
"impressive" client list ;) (www.jonesday.com) Am I on the right list?
It's starting to sound like the GNSO list ;-)
Cheers,

James

I wonder who at Icann was responsible for this outrageous event during

the negotiations?

Joe Sims.

The first contract he had them sign was so bad (for ICANN) that they
had to re-do it (which is why Verisign got to pick the terms and
ICANN couldn't do a thing about it.
You would think that Joe Sims would have been given the boot when
that happened, but, no, he actually got to draft the REPLACEMENT
 >contract as well. And got paid BOTH TIMES.
