The Board has said it will not accept the community membership proposal under any circumstances.   That isn't a "comment" it's an ultimatum.

This response from the Board precisely demonstrates why the community's accountability mechanism is so vital.

I am glad I chose the wedding over 2 days of listening to the Board justify it's "superior" judgment.

Carlos,

Respectfully, I disagree. We provided comments in quite some detail. We will happily provide more detail, answer questions etc. To do so in a vacuum would be unproductive and quite possibly counter-productive.

Cheers,

Chris

Dear Chris,

As both ATRT exercises showed, as well as studies in between, one common and longstanding complaint is the lack of understanding by the community of the Boards positions and decsisons. They have always emphasized the need for a clearer (and independent) rationale of those positions and decision. You just confirmed the need for a better rationale  again. Even if the question was not explicitly asked.

Wish you a nice Sunday

Hi Malcolm,

The Board was not asked that question.

Cheers,

Unless the community give up the idea of ICANN having members (whether
one or seven billion) the Board will not agree a common proposal.

I wish I had been able to attend the face-to-face meeting.

Were the Board able to be any more clear as to why they insist on the
community giving up on the idea of having at least a single member?
