If the US government wanted to protest, they’d probably do so in a far less incompetent manner.

>ACTO insisted on a face-to-face meeting and Marby duly got on a plane to Brasilia. He was in his hotel room in Brazil’s capital when he was told the meeting had been cancelled due to the political situation in Venezuela.

In the end the ACTO folks didn’t even care enough to meet with the ICANN CEO who had traveled all the way to Brasilia to meet them.

I can’t buy the Venezuela excuse, surely the ACTO gtld experts are not the same people who deal with Venezuela.
