<<<< I am sorry to say but I think you are being a bit naive to thnk that the ICANN
Board will "ignore" the recommendations of the Staff. >>>>More than that -- don't
think for a second that the examiners aren't telling ICANN precisely what they want
to be told, in full view of us. We have seen this sort of thing with WIPO. They decide
what ruling they want, and then provide the backwards reasoning to explain how they
"reached" their conclusion. Yet the "conclusion" was decided at the outset.
You
can bet that we are meant to view ICANN as the "objective recipient" of the reports.
We are their audience. ICANN is putting on a show, with the examiners, their co-stars.
It's
called "scripting." It's called "staging." It's called "collusion."
The examiners
are not so "independent," I surmise.
Or am I just being cynical?
