[CWG-Stewardship] NTIA's Role in Root Zone Management

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

Milton,

I am amazed about reading this. Are you telling us that the ICANN CEO
and Board are above the law and cannot be prosecuted if they run amok?
That is an excellent example of FUD. Let's please get back down to earth.
Kind regards,

Olivier
