In 2008, Couvering commented on the Independent Reviewer's Report, which was written by the Boston Consulting Group and Colin Carter & Associates and proposed to reconstitute the ICANN Board. According to Couvering, the entire report was worthless and ICANN should ignore it. Couvering pointed out, "The mind-set, bias, and basic understanding of the authors came from the corporate world, and whether they thought they could set that aside and make a fair assessment, very obviously they could not. The entire document is shot through with unwarranted assumptions, riddled with unsubstantiated opinions, and as a whole has been rendered useful only for demonstrations on how to recycle wastepaper by the authors’ evident ignorance of ICANN’s history or its values".<ref>[http://www.namesatwork.com/blog/2008/12/12/toxic-proposal-to-reconstitute-icanns-board Toxic Proposal to reconstitute Icann Board]</ref> | ||
