Semi-live! ....it's the ICANN Press Conference to brief the world on the newly announced agreement with Verisign. Thirty-seven minutes of Q&A with ICANN's President Paul Twomey. I didn't hear anything on the call that was "news" -- not surprising if you remember Paul Twomey's famous GAC Communiques -- but it was interesting to hear a real live human voice describe why ICANN made the decision it made. (Press Conference of 1 March 2006 | 37 Minutes | 39 Megabytes).
I'm sorry Kieren McCarthy wasn't there. He's had the best take yet on the deal.
And Bob Parsons adds: "C'mon Vint — Please say it ain't so!"

That roll-call at the start of the call is a classic.

If I had to sum up and verbalize my emotions in one word I'd say, "Wow!". I've never been described as an exceedingly wise business person but I think I could make a mint selling tap shoes in MDR. As always Bret, thanks for tracking this stuff.
My thanks to Joi, Susan and the others who voted AGAINST this crazy, insane, WTF "deal". Trackbacks
