President and CEO of ICANN, Dr Paul Twomey, left no doubt as to the depth of the problems brought to light by the Registerfly fiasco, and to the amount of work to be done to ensure that it does not happen again.
Its too bad that the article doesn't point out the fact that most, if not all, of the action items on "Paul's List" have actually been in his court for a number of years. I didn't see any issues on the list that he and his staff haven't failed to address in some way over the last seven years.
This isn't an ICANN issue, this isn't a community issue, this is an issue related to Paul's failure to drive important issues to closure during his tenure. This smells more like someone concerned about their job than someone concerned about the welfare of the registration community.
