I will add my +1 to this and will also note that there is now a clear working method as summarised by Finn, I think this discussion should now continue at the subgroup level and we only come back to plenary when/if we don't seem to agree within the subgroup. However am sure Greg will put in effort (as always) to ensure consensus views (with diversity strongly put into consideration) prevail within the subgroup.

I also agree that we should respect fundamental principles of inclusiveness, democratic, transparent, non-discriminatory and button-up approaches. But I do not agree with the insinuations saying that co-chairs have not been "fully neutral and impartial”. Instead, I find that now we all have to be professional, calm and non-emotional, and keep to the issues and possible solutions. Have a nice day!

I have not received any reply from Greg regarding the agenda of the first meeting after ICANN 59. I wish to reiterate that we need to focus on the Impact/ influence of location of ICANN in California and the impact/ influence of the applicable law in CALIFORNIA. No other issue is expected to be brought up at this stage . We have been wasting our time for almost one year. We knew from the very beginning that we will be faced with the arrangements proposed by Thomas and reluctantly agreed by some of us. Let us take from that point. I hope Greg would act more positively than before rather than getting into psychological and political discussions. Let us concentrate on the fact. What are the impacts? What is the problems?, One problem is OFAC What is the remedial action? One possible remedial action would be limited immunity What are other impacts?' What are other possible remedial actions regards Kavouss _______________________________________________ Accountability-Cross-Community mailing list Accountability-Cross-Community@icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/accountability-cross-community
