Re: What ICANN Does With Public Comments on the Budget...
by George Kirikos

The message failure was at 18:17 GMT (i.e. -0000), note the time zone. Since I was the one that sent/discovered the bouncing email, I know for a fact it wasn't working.

Convert the failure time to Pacific time by subtracting 7 hours, i.e. 18:17 minus 7 hours = 11:17 Pacific time. Bret's post was at 12:27 Pacific time. The first email that made it through, after ICANN fixed it, was at 15:20 -0700 (i.e. Pacific time zone).

Thus we have the message failure at 11:17 Pacific time, Bret's post at 12:27 Pacific time, and the first successful comment at 15:20 Pacifc time. The question "how come that George Kirikos has left two comments before the time you've put in your blog" obviously has a fatal flaw in it.

When ICANN Board Members can't do simple timezone math, the staff doesn't have to worry very much about scrutiny of the Budget math...
