FYI, they're not alone. Yesterday The Economist magazine (the one in which ICANN is posting its CEO recruitment ads) released a podcast<http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2012/01/babbage-january-11th-2012?fsrc=nlw%7Cnewe%7C1-11-2012%7Cnew_on_the_economist>dealing with ICANN (amongs other things, the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas got top billing and the ICANN comments start at 3:45). The discussion of the issue includes the comment that the new gTLD program "could be a disaster". - Evan On 12 January 2012 13:11, warigia bowman <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > There was an ICANN story on NPR this morning.
