[ga] ICANN leaves no money for public elections

[Bruce James <bmj@keyname.net>]

ICANN leaves no money for public elections--In its draft budget for 2001-2002, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers has not allocated any funds for At-Large Elections, in spite of its past promises to choose at least five more Board members through this electoral process. This move comes as ICANN moves forward with its so-called "clean sheet" study, which many observers fear will undercut democracy in cyberspace. Further details are available from ICANN Watch; background information on these issues can be found in the Cyber-Federalist.
