ICANN criticised over .travel allocation

ICANN, the internet body in charge of administrating how domain structures work on the internet, has been accused of flouting its own regulations, so as to award a potentially lucrative contract to a front company.

The criticisms are chiefly leveled by Michael Froomkin of the University of Miami School of Law, who details his concerns at ICANN Watch.

They also coincide with a damning report on ICANN’s allocation of the .net registration process to Verisign, after reasons for the award decision being made were omitted from a public report.

Techdirt additionally criticises ICANN by reporting that the body is asking for more money from the US Congress, without explaining where it is to be allocated. Techdirt also claims that the few members of the ICANN board voted there by the public, have been dismissed for asking to see detailed ICANN records of the body’s decisions.
