Although her ICANN role may have brought her some discomfort, she has picked up some nice rewards this year. The first was her very own television commercial on behalf of IBM's e-commerce campaign. The second came on June 8th when in London, the WPP Group PLC, one of the largest advertising agencies in the world "named Esther Dyson as a non executive director, effective June 28. . . . Swiss-born Esther Dyson, 47, is a luminary in the technology industry and has been highly influential in her field for the last 15 years. . . . Dyson's eminent career in the IT sector stems from her remarkable ability to influence others with her ideas. . . . Upside magazine named her number 12 in its Elite 100, based on her influential abilities rather than her affiliation with any particular institution." ICANN indeed does its best to influence. **************************************************************** The COOK Report on Internet Index to seven years of the COOK Report 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA http://cookreport.com (609) 882-2572 (phone & fax) ICANN: The Internet's Oversight Board - [EMAIL PROTECTED] What's Behind ICANN's Desire to Control the Development of the Internet http://cookreport.com/icannregulate.shtml ****************************************************************
