It is none of ICANN's business if John Frangie has one
job, or ten jobs. ICANN doesn't seem to care that Ken Stubbs moonlights at
Afilias. Most or all of ICANN board members are employees elsewhere. Would
IOD's application be more acceptable to ICANN if IOD's CEO worked for Sun, Intel,
or Cisco? Give us a break, please. Just because ICANN can't understand
how anyone from an unrelated field can be part of a viable registry, doesn't mean
it can't happen. ICANN obviously understands little about what makes a small
business grow successfully, exponentially. ICANN seems little concerned about
customer abuse by NSI, Register.com, faults with the Afilias application, and too
concerned with the private lives of those who might compete with NSI, Afilias, Stubbs,
etc.
The CEO of IOD obviously understands hard work, success, the value of a good
gameplan, the law, and sweat-equity (something ICANN board members obviously do not
understand).
As far as I'm concerned, ICANN owes Mr. Frangie an apology + .WEB.
Perhaps
we should look into the private lives of the ICANN board members, and question their
positions with ICANN, if they ever held a non tech-related job. Any of you
ICANN board members ever work at McDonalds? If so, we don't think you should
work for ICANN. Home Depot? You're outta there. Ever drive a limo
for a living? If so, you have no business involved with the internet hierarchy.
The
ICANN board is proving itself arrogant, oblivious to the needs of internet end users,
judgemental, and self-righteous.
ICANN's Logic: If your CEO is or
was a successful car dealer, he/she couldn't possibly be part of an effective registry.
That logic relects the lack of understanding and paranoia of the ICANN board members.
