In today's Oregonian there is a Knight Ridder News Service article with the byline of David Plotnikoff that describes Mike Roberts and the start of ICANN, the latter, we are told, presently consisting of "a cluttered back bedroom of Roberts' . . . home." The tale of the Oct. 25, 1998, meeting at the Holiday Inn near Kennedy and the selection of Esther Dyson as chairwoman of the initial board, and also Roberts' take on the "small and vocal critics" (um, do you feel eyes looking at the back of your head?) is also told.
