Michael Palage quits from ICANN
Michael Palage was selected for the ICANN Board by the Generic Names Supporting Organisation.
His term was intended to end six months after the conclusion of ICANN’s annual meeting in 2007.
Claiming that he’d be able to do more from outside ICANN, he decided to quit.
Michael Palage was a member of ICANN since April 2003 and appeared unable to resolve internal conflicts with other board members to the point he went on to state: “I have been unable to actively participate. I had the ability to contribute, but have not been able to meaningfully do so”. That must’ve been frustrating, indeed.
This event comes at a time when ICANN is under considerable pressure from the rest of the world over its largely criticized US-centric approach to the internet.
Michael Palage doesn’t intend on fading away into oblivion. He want to continue advising big ticket ISP clients on their domain name decisions.
The Register has an excellent article on Michael Palage’s leave from ICANN, if you want more insight on this matter.
