THE LADY DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH
Be careful Diane, calling this a total fabrication is misleading.
This appeared in an AIP newsletter , the AIP NewsFlash as part of a
section updating AIP members on ICANN activities. Indeed much of the
issue is filled with ICANN news and looks like an ICANN press release.
What you omit about this situation is very informative:
This AIP NewsFlash is edited by AIP member Bret Fausett and
written by the lawyers and
AIP members at the law firm of Hancock, Rothert & Bunshoft, LLP.
Comments about this AIP NewsFlash or alerts about news to
include in future issues can
be sent to Bret Fausett at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
Editor-in-Chief: Bret Fausett
This text appears in a AIP newsletter edited by this chance private
person, Brett Fausett.
i submitt Diane it is you who are misleading people on this exchange.
While the AIP did not directly sponsor the course its listing was
certainly an implied endorsement. While to anyone reading quickly
the question of sponsorship was certainly ambiguous. And you did
indeed each the course.
For nearly two years I have watched you on the BWG mail list where
you have embraced virtually every move by ICANN. You were grabbed by
ICANN for their membership committee and prided yourself on helping
them set up a global but meaningless membership structure. Then when
Johnathon Zitran whose Berkman Center has become the establishment
legal think tank for ICANN offered to make you a fellow you jumped at
it. While many of your fellow attornies (albeit NOT Berkman center
fellows) have criticized the absurd nature of the UDRP decisions, I
have never seen you do so.... My impression of you for during over
18 months of reading your ICANN friendly comments is one of a cheer
leader for ICANN who has been rewarded for her work with a Berkman
Center Fellowship.
As for this "private person" Brett Fausett - you were a member of
Fausetts law firm before he moved to LA. You have had a lengthy
working relationship with the man. The web site Lextext:Brett
Fausett's Internet Printing Press is clearly his own but you despite
your past ties wish to sever all association? very strange. Did you
not notice that the document that advertises your services *IS* the
Association for Internet Professionals newsletter.
Of course the Berkman Center was the 'sponsor' of the course.
The Berkman Center's Online Series 2000
The Winter 2000 interactive series have concluded. All
materials are archived on the
series websites.
Our most recent offering was a Continuing Legal Education
course on the Uniform
Dispute Resolution Policy of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN). Using ICANN's UDRP with Berkman Fellow Diane Cabell
If you insist be proud of your role in creating a shell organization
for ICANN membership and hence legitimizing it among those who
haven't spent hundreds of hours watching and documenting the
manipulation involved.... but next time don't rush to take offense
over an ambiguity of sponsorship.
