  Check the actual SEC filing...    The point here is that should
Vint remain on the ICANN BoD or even the budget committee
given his long term executive position with Worldcom.  In other
words it would be hard to believe that he was NOT aware of
what was coming down there...  And even on the off chance
that he didn't, it would seem that he should have..

  It's not a read herring.  Again read the entire SEC filing...

  Yes it is.  However as Vint is an executive with Worldcom and
has been for some time, combined with the fact that the GIP
was the original funder of ICANN in '98 time frame, and Vint
was also on the executive committee of the GIP, see
www.gip.org, which has as you may know, been brought up
before some time ago now and given the recent concerns regarding
ICANN's funding problems as well as Karl's suit regarding that
funding, and now the SEC filing as well as congress's very angry
response to this breaking news, seems a bit to coincidental, or
is it coincidental??

  I wouldn't be.  Once long ago now I ratted out a major MidWest
Bank regarding two senior bank executives skimming from interest
payments.  I at that time worked for that bank.  I resigned immediately
once I knew and could show what was going on to the authorities.
I would do it again.  Perhaps as this Worldcom story has been brewing
for several months now, through their own auditor (KPMG BTW)
which I also posted that filing here as well, he should have resigned
from Worldcom...
