This is an interesting situation.
First of all most organisations place a statement along with the link about wanting to unsubscribe from a mailing list, but ICANN expects people to just know how to do this?
Secondly, the unsubscribe requests are coming at a time when we are discussing member engagement with ICANN and people are starting to hear about the issues. It is strange that when individual members could be having a say about an important issue that actually involves them, rather than having their say, their preferred response is to unsubscribe? ITEMS must have got that wrong somehow (funny that!)
And finally, why does the whole of At-Large get the unsubscribe request? It could start an avalanche of requests now that they are better informed of the process. :) And are staff keeping analytics on these unsubscribers? The latest one was from the UN (?)

______________________________Seun, there are always too many emails, none channeled to specific interests or needs. This decades-old "system" of collaboration and information flow is one of the great failures of ICANN to engage with the community. Why would anyone want to stay engaged?

Hello,
The URL to unsubscribe is in the footer:
On that note, I wonder why a few people are unsubscribing? Are the mails too much already ;-)
