HI Carlton,

Thanks for this.  It is no doubt the work of Ayden, Michael , and others who have posted their venum on ICANN bad attitude.  I am at a loss to understand what really is their problem with us. Are they upset that we have interpretation into multiple languages? We share the same goals as was described in our similar responses to the loss of CROP funding. So not really clear what their problems are.  the GNSO has a similar structure in that they have counselors and then have an excom which is like our ALT have alerted Renata Aquino and asked her to get to the bottom of this.  Let's hope she can help calm all these ruffled feathers in GNSO and get some resolution

Best,

Judith

Recall my contention that the NCSG/CPH knockdown narrative was a bee in a bonnet? 

Well, a correspondent just shared with me an interesting link which led to a bit of content from a yet unidentified shadowy group:

https://www.atlarge.watch/

Quite apart from statements that could reasonably be characterised as blood libels, I have excerpted and reproduced here - I was so tempted to use a porn-related metaphor to convey meaning but I cannot now think of an obsequious way in language to mollify the thought police - the gravamen of this tilt. 

"Ultimately, we seek to strengthen non-commercial participation in ICANN's agenda-setting and decision-making processes."

I doubt it would surprise anyone familiar with politics 101 ICANN-style to know the WHOIS record is privacy-protected. The domain was registered on the 26th May. 

Here's a useful analogy. These virtuous souls, I'm sure men and women all good and true, would not wish to bother you with their identities. Compare that to the situation where the PIIs of every ALAC member is a public record.

Can't get clearer than that.
