ICANN-oclast Get ready for a shake-up: Radical Karl Auerbach just got
elected to the Internet's top governing body.

By Damien Cave
Oct. 16, 2000 | For the past two years, Karl 
   Auerbach has made a hobby of criticizing ICANN, 
the Internet
   Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. He
   has called the Net's controlling authority over
   domain names everything from inept to "an organ
   of the trademark lobby." But on Tuesday the
   50-year-old "wild-eyed radical," as he often calls
   himself, became part of that which he loathes: one
   of five new members of ICANN's board of
   directors.
