Phil Thank you for your note and observations . The tax return for 2913 shows a bottom line of over $200 mil up from $70 mil the year prior . I am concerned over the 'no funds for user education ' Carrie Sent from my iPhone

All,
I can’t agree more with James and Keith’s comments here. Both James and I were at Namescon 2015 last week in Vegas – it’s our job / income. so I’ m personally struggling to keep up. Please please all remain on topic- accountability and transparency – treat everybody with respect even if your views are fundamentally different.
As a note (of warning) to All: Akram Atullah, ICANN ‘s Head of the Generic Domain Division responsible for new gTLDs (personal friend of ICANN’s CEO) – was a keynote speaker – publicly stated that ICANN would not contribute to a global marketing effort to boost user awareness- the programme is seriously off budget/target registrations. However the whole programme was agreed to as “not for profit”. I say again – ICANN 2013 financial audited, signed statements show a $ 80m “profit” . Something is wrong here ………….
Regards,
Phil

All:
I do not post often (see good advice from Roelof), but agree completely with Keith.
The quantity (too high) and quality (too low) of posts on this list is making it nearly impossible to stay current. Can we ask that traffic be reduced only to those substantive discussions that move our work forward?
I promise to commit myself to the same.

Dear Co-Chairs,
I request that personal, non-substantive differences between individual members/participants be resolved off-list so the group can remain focused on our work. I think we can all be accountable for keeping the discourse professional and respectful.
Thanks and regards, Keith

Dear Thomas and co-chairs
thank you very much for your reply.
I disagree with your statement that this should be done off list. It MUST be done on the same forum where it occurs. If only for accountability.
I for one will post and say whatever I want wherever I want, though as you have noted without being disruptive and through the co-chairs, which is a recognized device in deliberative organizations, for example quoted from:

for your convenience:

Speaking through the chair When addressing another member, you never go wrong by speaking through the chair. Refrain from using the member's name if you can avoid it. Respect is conveyed by depersonalizing comments made in debate. For example, "Mr. Chairman, does the member who just spoke have information on the cost of his proposal?" works much better than, "Dang it Fred, have you thought about how much your stupid idea is gonna cost us?" Formality has its benefits.

All, we have been addressed as co-chairs to take action based on various comments and complaints issued by Dr. Eberhard Lisse.
We take good note of the complaints and plan to discuss this with Dr. Lisse when we meet in Frankfurt.
We do not think that a public mailing list is the right forum issue nor to respond to the complaints. Complaints, if any, should be addressed to us offlist to allow us to deal with them appropriately.
At the same time, we would like to encourage the whole group to focus on the plethora of questions we have to work on and thank Roelof for reminding us of the wise encouragement to be conservative in what we send and liberal in what we receive.
Thank you and kind regards, León Sánchez, Mathieu Weill and Thomas Rickert

Dear Co-Chairs,
I wish to file a formal complaint about the disorder during the last telephone call and demand that this be dealt with forthwith.
After an apparent technical issue regarding Mr Arasteh, having being allegedly repeatedly phoned under an incorrect number, when he finally connected to the bridge he raised his voice and repeatedly interrupted the chair, while not having the floor/having been recognized.
In 25 year of dealing with this stuff I have never experienced an outburst like the one displayed by the ICG Liaison and Participant.
It is furthermore disturbing to me since the gentleman is a professional negotiator of 40 years experience and a GAC representative.
I also believe that such conduct is unacceptable under ICANN's rules of behavior but in any case it is not acceptable to me and I demand that steps are taken to prevent this from happening again.
Non withstanding the above I suppose an investigation into the allegations of him being unable to be contacted might be in order, and I for one look forward into find out what actually happened and what can be done to prevent this from happening again, if anything.
That said, I notice with alarming regularly issues with individuals being unable to access Adobe Connect and/or connecting to the call.
This is equally disturbing and hence I would appreciate if this could be looked into as well.
I for one am setting aside some time on TechDay on Monday of the ICANN meeting in Singapore, for an Adobe Workshop of sorts, where we could among other issues demonstrate how one can not only listen but also speak (directly) through the net, ie without requiring a dial in/out.
Then there is the possibility to use Skype's dial out which works, free of charge to US based toll free numbers.
Finally, I use a privately owned Asterix switchboard via a (Bria 3) soft-phone on my Mac to dial a UK based toll free number, which works extremely well with very little bandwidth from (the developing country) Namibia.
I have asked Bart Boswinkel a while back to look into setting up SIP access of sort, I could envisage an Asterix server which only allows the dialing of toll free numbers (related to ICANN work). I have not heard back from him, yet.
This is not meant as criticism, in particular not of the chairs, who have been bending over backwards in order to be inclusive.
