> CPSR Honors Karl Auerbach:
> A Pioneer of Democratic Internet Governance
>
> Over the past half decade Karl Auerbach has both fought for and
> demonstrated the importance of openness in Internet
> governance. Even before the Domain Name System was put
> under the control of ICANN (the Internet Corporation for
> Assigned Names and Numbers), Karl pointed out the dangers
> of an unaccountable organization controlling such a chokepoint
> in cyberspace. He helped craft ICANN's original by-laws to
> balance the interests of users and industry experts, and in 2000
> he was elected as ICANN's North American user representative.
> In a time when corporate governance scandals have become a
> daily event, Karl is the only director of ICANN who has insisted
> on exercising his full legal right of access to ICANN documents
> -- a right upheld in July by a California court. In his person and
> his actions, Karl demonstrates the importance of user
> representation in governance.
