<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Dear Milton, This is a well presented article which covers almost all the key areas. I will definitely circulate it widely. I think there is one area which has not been addressed and that is the the damage to ICANN's reputation. It is becoming known for poor governance practice. On their part there seems to be a perception that if they say that they stick to the mandate that is set out in the by-laws it does not matter if things look like 'insider trading.' (I use this term very loosely). I think it would be useful to address how the way this situation is playing out, how it would look if it were another industry and what changes need to be made to internal governance regulations to prevent similar occurrences in future. In the meantime we can thank the principles for providing a beautiful case study for students in a number of fields including business, governance and ethics. If you do write it up as a case study for your students please do share....</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">best regards</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Dorothy</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Nov 25, 2019 at 4:30 PM Mueller, Milton L <<a href="mailto:milton@gatech.edu">milton@gatech.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
