Beckstrom's Law
This "law" is absolute and utter nonsense, no economist in his right mind would ever propose such a useless abstraction. With all respect for people positing laws named after themselves, there should at least be a hint to this fact in the article. Mbaer3000 (talk) 09:13, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Doesn't this belong on Talk:Beckstrom's law? --Alvestrand (talk) 10:01, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, right. Sorry, I hadn't known this thing has it's own entry. Mbaer3000 (talk) 13:29, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Noted quotes about this appointment
Alvestrand has added unreferenced to the section of quotes, and correctly notes that quotes should be sourced or deleted. I see that the quotes are from the pdf press release in ref [23] "ICANN (June 26, 2009). 'Internet Security Expert Named ICANN CEO'", however I don't know what to do about them. They are not very encyclopedic in style (indeed, they are direct from a gushing press release), so I'm inclined to heavily prune them, perhaps keeping only the most notable quote and including it in the first paragraph of the "Appointment to ICANN" section (which would then just be a couple of sentences).

 * I tried to make it clear that the quotes are from the press release - see if this works. That is, if they are needed at all. --Alvestrand (talk) 20:24, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
