Dear Eberhard,

Thank you for pointing out the second read. You are right. This needs a second read in our next call.

I apologize for the unintended mistake and will be happy to include it as an agenda item for our next call.

I do like the idea of having Kieren in the team.

Best regards,


León

Kieren,

please read my previous email as being in full agreement with your

rationale.

Leon,

we need to "read" this again on our next call, which would be next

Tuesday, what time?  Please advise ASAP, so Kieren can see whether

he can make the time to join :-)-O

PS: I might even be interested in lurking on the legal sub-team list,

eminently qualified as I am being a Gynaecologist :-)-O

So I'll be honest - what I read is a single justification to have

a closed sub-group that is directly contradicted by your own words

moments earlier.

Sole justification: "As I said, this is an open, and will remain

open for anyone that wants to participate, but we need to of

course face the fact that having a conversation between 160

persons and a law firm might not be the more practical approach."

But moments earlier you state that you'd never had more than seven

people on a call.  So you are stating a future possibility that is

not based on current realities.  And then limiting the process'

accountability and transparent norms based on that purely

hypothetical situation.  Why?

I'll also note that the sub group immediately decided to do away

with your promise to keep it open "for anyone that wants to

participate".  So it could be argued that the vote that was taken

did not accurately represent was is actually in place.

As for authorization: you provided an exceptionally busy group

with at most a few minutes to decide on a proposal that you put

forward with the strong implication that it needed a positive vote

in order to progress.

This doesn't meet any kind of standard for good governance.

Furthermore I'll note that there was no discussion at all over the

clear conflict of interest that exists in having a member of

ICANN's legal team as the support for a group whose sole purpose

is to provide legal advice independently of ICANN.

Please don't take this personally, I have no doubt you are an

honorable and hardworking member of the internet community.  But

this process and the decisions being made don't pass muster on

even the most relaxed and generous grounds.

  Dear Arun,

  Thanks for your message.  The team role would be to pass along

  messages to the law firms and follow up on them in order to

  make it easier to handle the communications between the law

  firms and the larger CCWG.

  This, of course, does not mean that no other members or

  participants of the wider CCWG would be able to raise

  questions and request further information or clarifications to

  any question raised.

  I hope this helps clarify the team’s role.

  Best regards,

[...]
