I'm sorry to be this blunt, but...

  Nonsense.

Anyone who has watched the on-stage, recorded, extremely-public board 
meetings of ICANN and has also watched the multitude of conspiracy theories 
about the ICANN board knows that conspiracy theorists will take the 
existence of a recording as proof that the REAL conspiracy was going on 
somewhere else, and what was recorded was an orchestrated public charade.

Been there, done that, no cigar.
