    <p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">We have asked a
          similar line of questions (why doesn't ICANN have a privacy
          policy, why not a privacy officer) a few years ago.  We never
          really got a decent answer, as I recall.  I suspect that we
          will not get a great answer this time either, and I think we
          can depend upon it, ICANN management is getting a great deal
          of grief from the registrars and registries over the mess that
          they have dragged them into.  Remember that the contracted
          parties have very little leeway in their contract negotiations,
          the WHOIS conflicts with law policy does not work, and the
          contracted parties are considered data controllers under the
          EU law...although I would argue that ICANN is the data
          controller and they are only processors for any data which is
          mandated by the RAA.  So I am not sure our we-told-you-so and
          how-could-you-mess-this-up would be helpful at this point.  We
          should give Daniel a chance, he might be excellent.  Who
          knows, maybe he has been telling them all along that they
          really ought to comply with law, we are not likely to know
          that.</font></font></p>

          the CEO I would be asking for the risk management plan that
          had been developed to manage this risk.  I can assure you I
          have been reminding everyone on every working group I have
          been on of the impending regulation since I arrived here in
