Hi Chris, Thanks for this - my bad. I wasn't aware that the CWG had it's own SOI section. Now I do. I guess that shows the importance of ease of accessibility: to transparency instruments, IRP's and everything else we are trying to create. I do obtain my objection, though now for form more than substance. We do not want to get into a habit of folks posting for others. It's hard to carry on a conversation when the other party is unable to directly respond. Thanks, again, Chris and apologies to Mr. Poole.

To maintain consistency, I again do so here when the posting is done by a respected member of the Board. I do not know John Poole but what I do know is that he does not seem to have a SOI on file. That's an important accountability tool we use here and I do not want to see individuals bypass that requirement by using others, even Board members, to post on their behalf. Since we seem to want to link to articles today, even those of rather dubious uneven quality, I'll take the opportunity to link to a very perceptive article that appeared in Monday's Guardian by Emily Taylor: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/sep/21/icann-internet-us-governme... The key paragraph: "The community's solution is for Icann to become a membership organisation. I agree that this is the only outcome likely to deliver accountability. It's feasible, it gives backstop power to the community and is a well understood model common to many non-profits."
