This was in an official ICANN session and in the official transcript. Are you suggesting Kurt lied? You're correct that this article suggests this isn't a good practice, but to call it an "untruth" is, well, untruthful. “So it is riduclous to assume that they are based simply on a conversation with Kurt”

The article is an untruth and a beat up. Period. So it is riduclous to assume that they are based simply on a conversation with Kurt. The article is an untruth and a beat up. Period.

The staff's goals shouldn't be set to deadlines on things such as getting a new draft guidebook out, since things like IRT will keep popping up. It's silly to stick to your deadline for the next guidebook when something like IRT gets thrown into the process (and there are many other issues beyond IRT). @ Adrian – that’s exactly my point, so I don’t see what the disagreement is.

It simply does't make sense to base staff salaries on time lines that staff have no control over. The IRT Group is only a new development and was not even speculated prior to Cairo. I know if I was employed by ICANN I would like to have my bonus set to factors beyond my control (especially when the Board have the final say). I think the article is a beat up. Nothing more, nothing less. I think this article has been incorrectly slanted. It simply does’t make sense to base staff salaries on time lines that staff have no control over.

Is it, like with perennial first commenter D. Castello, because of their existing investments in .com domains? I can't imagine that the readers of Domain Name Wire are that interested in the concerns of TM interests, so what's the beef? BTW, M. Menius, I see you're using a .us domain instead of the .biz address you were using before! Why the change?
