[Advisors] A report (sort of) about attending ICANN50

[michael gurstein]

Hi Garth and all,

I've now had a chance to take a closer look at your "report".  Interesting
take on ICANN and one that I'm quite sure rather bewildered the ICANN folks
you were interacting with who all seem to come out of Harvard Biz school
along with a deep emersion in an Apple Corp bootcamp.

Anyway, reading your report I guess my basic question still stands although
I might reword it slightly... Is ICANN worth the effort of doing with it
what you are suggesting and if so why?  i.e. what does it add to the benefit
of the Internet/humanity that someone with a good tech degree from BCIT
couldn't do?

Tks,

M

You will find that the attached essay doesn't exactly read as a report to TC
from its ALAC contact person.  It is however a fairly accurate summary of
where my involvement in Internet governance issues, including ICANN, is
taking me.  If anybody has any ideas where this might take TC, please do
comment, because it's not yet clear to me!
