[CCWG-Accountability] Op-Ed from ITIF regarding permanent cross-community group as ultimate authority

[Greg Shatan]

The DomainNewsAfrica article is actually an article from The Daily Caller
website -- but actually only the first page; apparently they couldn't be
bothered to cut and paste the second page.  The article engages in some
speculation about the Swiss idea, but hardly reports that it is ICANN's
"intention" to move ICANN to Europe.  On the whole, it reports that it is
not, but points to some statements by Fadi Chehade sufficient to support
speculation, as well as other statements intended to quell such speculation.

The Yahoo search is even more useless as a citation for this idea.

And, yes, I was aware that ICANN was "spear phished" (not "spearfished").
FYI, spear phishing is a form of phishing using email spoofing to target an
organization with the goal of gaining access to confidential data.  Through
spoofing, the recipient believes they are receiving an email from a trusted
individual known to the recipient.  The spear phisher will request that the
recipient take an action that will ultimately result in the phisher gaining
access to confidential information.

What do you mean when you refer to "DRS"?  I assume you are referring to
URS (and/or UDRP?) The fact that WIPO acts as an arbitral body for these
dispute resolution mechanisms proves nothing.

I look forward to a citation to a hearing where someone from ICANN said
they were moving the organization out of the US and into Switzerland.
