I've recently had some correspondence
that helps to fill in some of the time
line behind the formation of ICANN.
Here's the view from 20,000 feet:
(Comments and corrections welcome)
Postel 1,
Postel 2,
the Alternic
the IAHC,
eDNS,
the Domain Name Wars.
the NOI,
the Green Paper.
Media blackout,
Collusion w/Governments & Corps.
IANA transition negotiated (April)
IANA transition planned (May).
Public smoke screen (White Paper) announced.
Mike Roberts and friends entertain the rabble,
while Board members are selected, and the
by-laws are drafted behind closed doors.
ICANN announced,
Ira Magaziner resigns,
Commerce holds pretend conference calls
between ICANN and ORSC and BWG.
ICANN proceeds to make the most egregious
decisions, exactly as ORSC and BWG had
warned it might do.
"Members" at Large finally get a say and
elect two ICANN critics to its board.
Stay tuned . . .
Jay.
