EFF Media Release: Director Sues Organization that Oversees Internet - ICANN Broke Law, Refused to Disclose Documents. Los Angeles - The Electronic Frontier Foundation today helped a member of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Board of Directors file a lawsuit forcing ICANN management to grant him some reasonable access to corporate records. Karl Auerbach, the North American Elected Director of ICANN, began asking for corporate records in December 2000, ICANN dragged its feet for 9 months, then issued a new "policy" - never brought before the Board for discussion or vote - requiring Auerbach to sign a non-disclosure agreement that placed his ability to discuss the records at the discretion of ICANN management. (Mar. 18, 2002)
