How to describe a bottom-up, multi-stakeholder organization which imposes, from the staff general counsel, unilateral conditions upon the contracted parties? Over the unanimous objections of the contracted parties? Peter Dengate-Thrush appears to be heedlessly striding off into the heroic testosterone soaked drama as the man who must be obeyed, and Rod Beckham appears to be a simple Garth clone at his side, mashing infrastructure security (recall, the DNS is a high value target for sophisticated I/O actors with state, or near-state resources) and retail cops-and-robbers crap into a meaningless glop of mindless mandates.

Watching the Board members present while Peter reversed utterly his position at Seoul made me wonder who on the Board is actually sharp enough to be useful. Obviously the half that were there agreed with the idea that unanimous non-consent from registries and registrars is not important enough to look into.
