i understood Tom’s words were quite clear and in a positive way defending the full independence of NOMCOM. I believe  as I know what Ching said, that Carlos was just worried by the tentative of interference from the Board in the selection process of NOMCOM.

Hi Carlos, 

 

I have gone through the attachment and I'm not sure I can identify where Tom went wrong. 

 

Possibly, if you could quote his exact words that are problematic and explain why they're in bad taste. This will help us all known where you are coming from.

 

My one pesewa thought.

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.
