OK, so what's the problem?

Who said there was a problem? We had certain priors on corruption and contested the .org sale on the grounds that these guys were corrupt. We pushed for the California AG to investigate ICANN and they did on the grounds that these guys were corrupt. Turns out they were corrupt.

This is just the loop being closed. Our posterior probability of corruption rises only a very little bit because most people observing and participating kinda expected this.

The problem is that the root issue of ICANN corruption hasn’t gone away. So there will be more problems in the future, you can count on it.

There are initiatives like https://handshake.org that are trying to do away with ICANN entirely
