Another ICANN Board member resigns

FIFA of the Internet?

Look up 'Groupthink'

An old now but genuinely insightful analysis of how organisations become dysfunctionally self-referencing.

I dunno for sure whether or not the ICANN Board stand in a circle so they can slap each other on the back in congratulation for a job well done whilst the function they're supposed to provide goes to rodent manure........... But that type of behaviour would explain quite a lot. And the Groupthink (all credit to a bloke called Janis (foreign chappie, its pronounced Yannis) nothing to do with me) model would explain how it comes about and becomes sef-sustaining in the face of any reasonable, adaptive behaviour.

Deciding that ICANN is going down the tube just because they're a bunch of self-important ****s may be satisfying, (it might even be 80%+ right) but its not enough by iself to explain the levels of cocking-up currently coming to light.
