Yes, you like to say that, but then you attack him and seek to undermine 
the content of his contributions with irrelevant distractions.

And thank you for providing a nice example of that sort of effort to 
undermine.  Kent's involvement has nothing to do with his relationship with 
ICANN.

And you bloody well know that.  So citing it is just a childish ploy.


>  I don't think you can ignore issues of conflicts of interest,

You enjoy using that mantra, but have never been able to provide a cogent 
explanation of its application to this sort of participation.

That's because the term does not apply.  Conflict of interest refers to 
concern about those with special power, rather than having simple, general 
membership.  Kent has no such special powers.  Nor do I.

But rather than deal with that reality, you would rather constantly utter 
catch-phrases and then dodge defending their entirely inappropriate use.

You have dismissed his contributions for a lot longer than he has been 
involved with ICANN.

So your use of that association, now, is just a ploy.  It has no 
substance.  Nor does it have any integrity.
