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". |
