Markle Foundation Funds ICANN

The philanthropic Markle Foundation has announced it will help fund the cash-strapped ICANN. But it's not stopping there. The election campaign for the second half of ICANN's Board of Directors is just beginning, and Markle intends to find "a legitimate way for individuals" - as opposed to corporate interests - "to vote and create an authority they can trust." Five respected organizations are joining the effort, including the CDT, the ALA, and Common Cause. (If you're new to the subject, check out Common Cause's Why You Should Care About ICANN.)

No interest in this?

It is interesting (I think) that there have been no posts about thhis topic given the importance of decisions made by and involving ICANN to the internet community.

Does nobody care or are these developments just manifestly good and are those involved doing everything right?
