Speaking on Deep Background, the Press Secretary whispered:

i dont believe this is icanns responsibility.. it is however their
responsibility to ensure proper registry procedures are put in place to prevent
this kind of occurance and provide emergency procedures for reversals when
problems such as suspected hijacks are encountered.
We could get clear off-scale on the OffTopic alarm really fast;
so I'll leave this by saying:
a) Exactly what's ICANN function/purpose/jurisdiction is an
Interesting Question, suited for long debate...elsewhere.
b) Direct mandated responsibility is only one motivator. "It's
not my job, man..." is a narrow way to accomplish anything,
no matter what the goal.
c) I was merely pointing out the ICANN report might have left some
things out. Say, when did what ICANN official learn of the hijack,
and what if anything did {s}he do & when? [i.e call anyone else,
notify X, etc...]
