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".
