[Area 4] Compromise of a resource critical to some accountability process as a candidate scenario.

[Eric Brunner-Williams]

Rudi,

If I recall correctly the incorporators worked for Jones Day, and their 
acts as incorporators were approved by the initial Board on 10-25-98.

  ISI, where Dr. Jon Postel was employed, and the IANA Function 
conducted (mostly by Jon), is a unit of USC.

You can of course ask Ira, as he may know, or you can ask any of Esther, 
Michael, or Louis.

I don't recall any other jurisdictions being considered at the time, 
Deleware is the usual, but really offers little advantage.

In any event, trivial pursuits of early ICANNia is off-topic for the 
CCWG, and WG4.
