[log in to unmask]" type="cite">You are lucky that I am not your student! I am actually busy grappling with that question re ICANN....how do you define corporate social responsibility, for an org like ICANN, without getting into content. I believe that they cannot start refereeing content fights and decisions, but I expect them to uphold human rights ...as Monika has pointed out, the Ruggies would apply to them, the question is what does it mean when you get specific? I think the policy on WHOIS conflicts of law, just for starters, shows disrespect for national law at a minimum, and I am wondering if I should describe setting policy that forces registrars to question the application of law as bad policy, illegal, or showing no corporate social responsibility? Advice welcome......Thus, the “corporate responsibility” model is off target. If people outside the “walled city” of ICANN are asking how it is performing in terms of corporate social responsibility they are asking the wrong question. But frankly, I don’t think many people are asking that. I deal with lots of people, including hundreds of students, who are not involved with ICANN and I have never heard that question asked.
An expression of derision, used esp. by children; often in phrs. sucks to you; yah, boo, sucks. 1913–.
Listener The council treated the urbane Mr Cook to the politician's equivalent of ‘Yah, boo, sucks’ (1983).
What he ought to be saying is that the word is creeping into polite discourse. Different.
Thanks for the interesting debate on this
