George Kirikos is one of a handful of people willing to keep the bar set
high for ICANN, Verisign, et al. and I commend him for this. Even though
ICANN is "doing better" than they have in the past, it's public pressure
that has helped get them to this point. The public can't stop speaking out
- and with his petition and outspokenness George is effectively helping to
put pressure on the big players for the public good.
