Excellent. You handled the US unilateral oversight issue extremely well, perhaps a reflection of your DC insider experience....;-) >>> Harold Feld <[log in to unmask]> 9/21/2006 5:21:51 PM >>> I will be testifying today before the U.S. House of Rep. Subcom on Telecom & the Internet and Subcom. on Commerce and Consumer Protection today. You can find the executive summary here: http://www.mediaaccess.org/events/House%20Testimony%20Exec%20Sum%209-21-06.pdf Full testimony here: http://www.mediaaccess.org/events/House%20Testimony%20Exec%20Sum%209-21-06.pdf For those reading, please understand this is intended for folks operating at very high levels of generality. I made a decision that trying to get into anything even vaguely close to details was not likely to be productive. My hope is to balance the folks who will say ICANN works just fine and doesn't need any change, and possibly put some pressure on NTIA to force ICANN to adopt some real accountability measures. I should also make clear this does not purport to be testimony from the NCUC. It is my personal testimony and that of my organization based on my experience with and observations of ICANN. Harold
