Re: ICANN-Wellington continues
by Edward Hasbrouck
If you helped get these posted just now, thank you. The "wellington@icann.org" e-mail address and an agenda for the Friday Board meeting were added to the ICANN Web site for the first time between my comment and yours above, less than an hour before the start of the public forum, and only after my message complaining about their absence was posted on the ALAC public forum. Unless people are checking the Web site hourly for changes, they would have no way to know that at the last minute, in response to my complaint, a mechanism for submissions would be provided. It's certainly not adequate time to prepare comments on the newly-posted agenda. And it still doesn't satisfy the requirement of the Bylaws for posting of the agenda 7 days before the meeting, or address the exclusion of disfavored journalists from the press conference, the lying to me by ICANN staff and p.r. contractors about the press conference, the lack of the mandated manager or public participation, or the failure to implement the independent review Bylaw. I don't know on what you base your claim that Dr. Cerf is "pretty good" about reading the comments. Without having all the comments posted (which has never happened), it's impossible to tell how what fraction of those received are read. I received copies of several comments submitted to "argentina@icann.org" that were never read, acknowledged, or posted. There's no way for anyone reviewing the record on the ICANN Web site even to know they exist.
