[governance] ICANN staff member and Stratfor

[Petko Kolev]

Here is an English translation of the original article:
http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=137218

People in Bulgaria doesn`t seem to care about how Statfor describes
Veni (imo, its ludicrous, yes), but care about what he might have done
during his affiliation with the "private CIA", because in the same
time he was an adviser to the Bulgarian president and to the minister
of IT. For example, he contacted Statfor from a governmental mailbox.

Cheers,
Petko
