The press release said $41M over six years which is about $7M/yr, not $41M per year. That is a rather large difference.
Also, the statement that ISOC "has started down the path of replacing its CEO" is flatly false. What we have done is think about CEO succession if our CEO or other senior management were hired away or hit by a streetcar, which any sensible organization does.
This is some guy's wish list. Anyone can submit an Internet Draft. No working group asked for it, no working group has adopted it, and the chances of it turning into an RFC are at best remote.
If I write an I-D full of trendy buzzwords, will you write an article about me, too?
"While the A319 can hop the Atlantic if required, it will likely do duty on shorter routes around the world as its single aisle means it's not well-suited to longer flights."
I've taken quite a few trans-Atlantic flights on single aisle 707s and DC-8s and 757s, and can assure you that single aisle planes can fly the Atlantic just fine. It is true that for most transatlantic markets there's enough traffic to want bigger planes, there are some thin markets like London to Newfoundland that only have single aisle planes. and others like New York to Paris that have a mix of 757 and bigger planes.
Your recipe looks tasty, but it's not authentic. The authentic Hawaiian technique is to stumble into the closest ABC store (a local chain of convenience stores) and grab a few from the cooler.
Sadly, we realize this option is not available in Spain, since the closest ABC is in Guam, but keep in in mind during those journalistic research junkets.
I happen to think that the new TLDs are a dreadful idea, but anyone who had bothered to read the relevant parts of the ICANN draft applicant's guidebook would know that there is no possibility whatsoever of TLDs like the ones discussed in this article being assigned. On page 2-8 it explicitly lists LOCAL and LOCALHOST in a table of reserved names, and on pages 2-9 and 2-10 it describes the DNS Stability Review that is exactly about funky names like these.
So thanks for providing this handy list of people who spout nonsense about DNS "security" without doing even a little bit of reading to see if they know what they're talking about.
In New York it has been settled law for many years that the law regarding nudity is gender neutral, i.e., anywhere I can go without a shirt, you can go without a shirt, too, regardless of our respective genders. It's not a big deal, we haven't turned into France with acres of bare bosoms on every beach. (At least, not yet.)
So any ladies in Pittsfield who seek a nice even tan are welcome to pop over the border into our more liberal state.
