[governance] ICANN might name former DHS cybersecurity boss itspresident?

[Eric Dierker]

I really think this is helpful.  When discussing governance, too many ivory tower type suspects gather round and discuss "ideal". Too often these are the same folks who quietly whisper about or censor outspoken frank people. Just as too often regulations get through without any real life examination of how it effects business and consumers. 
Because of the above, effective parties are forced into rationalizations as to why a particular reg. does not apply to their situation or activity. And rightfully so.
I believe that lists such as this should never miss the opportunity to cause havoc amoung the intellectuals by forcing a public justification for proposing and adopting rules that look cool but suck in application.
Security is chief amoung the victims of, straight pinky, white gloved intellectuals with no grease pit life experience.

I don't usually help people "work around" the regs. My primary aim is
to make sure the regs which are put in place are the right ones; and once in place that they are used as effectively as possible to hinder the bad guys.  But I do spend quite some time telling people why certain regulations don't apply[1] to them, were never intended to apply to them; which isn't quite the same as avoiding the regs.
