DYSON SAY ICANN HAS BECOME 'A REAL CESSPOOL'

Esther Dyson, tech celeb and former chair of ICANN (the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), told an audience at the
Wharton business school that "ICANN has become a real cesspool," because of
its tangled disputes about authority, accountability, and openness. The
independent agency is in charge of managing policy for the Internet's name
and address systems. "When I was a young student, I thought grow-ups would
come and make things work. Now I realize that grown-ups are just kids with
wrinkles. I only see juvenile behavior at ICANN." (Public Policy &
Management Emory, Jun 2002)
