We could get clear off-scale on the OffTopic alarm really fast; so I'll leave this by saying: a) Exactly what's ICANN function/purpose/jurisdiction is an Interesting Question, suited for long debate...elsewhere. b) Direct mandated responsibility is only one motivator. "It's not my job, man..." is a narrow way to accomplish anything, no matter what the goal. c) I was merely pointing out the ICANN report might have left some things out. Say, when did what ICANN official learn of the hijack, and what if anything did {s}he do & when?
