		<title>Hey, ho, Delhi here we go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m writing this in that neverworld of an airport waiting for a slightly delayed plane.
And, of course, as it always is, that airport is Heathrow. I hate Heathrow. I&#8217;ve always hated Heathrow. Even as a kid, I remember the sensation of life ebbing away from you as you sit in uncomfortable chairs next to grumpy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Too much bloody work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been six weeks since I last posted here. That can&#8217;t be good. And I have a ton of stuff to get out of my mind through my fingers. The one-day trivia brain of Los Angelenos; the US presidential election process; the insane bureaucracy and mind-control of this peculiar and remarkable country. Plus, lots of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back to work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case anyone is wondering why I haven&#8217;t been calling, emailing, insisting people come out for drinks, and so on, I have been on a three-and-a-half-week tour covering New York, Los Angeles and Puerto Rico &#8211; all for ICANN. A very busy week-long meeting has caused me to take three days off without any form [...]]]></description>

		<title>Polls: ICANN, Sex.com and book reading</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just stuck up a third poll in the space of a week, so I figured it was time to review the results of the previous two and outline the third. (As if anyone really cares, but it makes me feel better.)
The first was about ICANN and what I should do in my new role [...]]]></description>

		<title>Online participation &#8211; practicising what you preach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am having a bloody busy time of it at the moment. I lost most of last week due to an appalling cold and chest infection (which is still nagging me now), I have my publisher breathing down my neck asking for my Sex.com book back with the copy editor&#8217;s changes included (to be frank, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Becoming part of the story &#8211; expert or ego-maniac?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A story about the Sex.com case has appeared in the San Jose Metro which includes as many quotes from me as it does from Gary Kremen and from Cohen&#8217;s current lawyer. I was also heavily featured in a different article in the German FT on Sex.com last week. And on Monday I am going to [...]]]></description>

		<title>My first ICANN blog post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I&#8217;ve just stuck up my first post on the ICANN blog. It is called &#8220;On the inside, look out&#8230; at a tornado&#8221; and it basically covers the second day working for ICANN and the first in which I met all the staff etc. 
Why on earth am I blogging about a blog post? Well, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Internet rollercoaster starts up the track again: IGF in Geneva</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am in Geneva for a stock-take of the first Internet Governance Forum in Athens last November.
It should be an interesting meeting. The one thing that no one is any doubt about is that the IGF will be bigger and more important in 2007. Born out of international discussion (some might say argument) at the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wednesday, Thursday, a touch busy sorting out my new role</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in Brussels trying to sort out exactly what I can do in my job in ICANN.
I have had no time to write anything because I&#8217;ve been trying to speak to everyone and trying to get as much out there and suck up as much as I can.
With a brain full of information I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bill Hobbs breaks cover &#8211; and piles on the coincidences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was bound to come back to haunt him at some point, but Bill Hobbs has been forced to break cover after people in his home town of Nashville came across the various posts by me, Kev Murphy and Brett Fausett that fingered him as being Steve Forrest &#8211; the most-biased man in showbusiness and [...]]]></description>
