In the attachment, I’m sharing a post by Ching Chao that includes the accurate transliteration of what John Barrett said during the ICANN84 Public Forum when addressing the board.
I believe we must publicly address and demand an official response to the statements made by John Barrett (NomCom Chair). What he said is deeply concerning and cannot be left unanswered.
His words reveal a troubling perspective on the NomCom’s role and independence, and they risk undermining the trust that the entire ICANN community has worked so hard to build.
We need clarity, accountability, and a firm commitment that the NomCom will continue to operate free from undue influence.
