[CPWG] Are Blockchain Domains within the Mission of ICANN - WAS RE: Questions to the board about distributed DNS

[Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond]

Gentlemen,

this was 10+ years ago. We live in a very different ICANN today and the 
ALAC's standing is way better than it used to be in the wider scheme of 
things. Just look at the composition of the ICANN Board and notice that 
it is much less industry friendly than it used to be. Some members of 
our community are lead figures that actively balance interests.
Kindest regards,

Olivier
