Ever. > Everything has been used solely as grist for the criticism mill. This argument is completely bogus. It's semantically equivalent to arguing that ICANN is being unfairly criticized and using as the foundation of your argument the assertion that the criticism of ICANN is unfair. Your words only make sense to someone who already believes that ICANN has gone to heroic efforts to try to satisfy their criticism. If you believe that ICANN has put almost all of its energy into obfuscation and attempting to avoid public accountability, then this argument obviously isn't persuasive since ICANN has, by that belief, never *tried* anything effective to address criticism. So of course what ICANN has done has not been acceptable. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
