Susan Crawford on the icann board, and then there's an Iranian on the
ALAC.  I don't know the guy but he's probably just another iranian

politically inclined of the icann / wsis etc watchers are going to read
into this situation :)  Whatever, but it'll keep IP, politech, circleid
and various blogs buzzing for a while I guess.
