Fwd: Re: [CCWG-ACCT] Update on Board discussions on the CCWG Update
by parminder Nov. 25, 2015

Nov. 25, 2015

Below again a spirited defence of the 'board' against the community by an ALAC leadership person..... All this is completely completely beyond me, I have no idea what is happening. For instance, I simply cant understand the meaning of things like "....I don't agree that the community is a much better proxy for the "public as a whole" than a Board that's selected entirely by the community...' And I think i know my politics and political science .... Something is happening here which is quite not clear... How can a board elected by a community be more politically legitimate than the community????? (whatever meaning you ascribe to 'community' here, at least it is a constant between its two usages in this sentence)... parminder -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [CCWG-ACCT] Update on Board discussions on the CCWG Update Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2015 14:44:11 +0100 From: Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <ocl(a)gih.com> To: Paul Rosenzweig <paul.rosenzweig(a)redbranchconsulting.com>, 'Bruce Tonkin' <Bruce.Tonkin(a)melbourneit.com.au>, accountability-cross-community(a)icann.org Hello Paul, Hello all, for the record, I don't agree that the community is a much better proxy for the "public as a whole" than a Board that's selected entirely by the community or community representatives. This is akin to say that a self appointed community group is better suited to running a country than a democratically elected government. I've said it in the past and say it again: if you don't like the Board director that your community has selected, vote for someone else next time. But I'd like to also call on everyone here to stop the threats, the accusations, the hate - yes, there is actual hate in some of the comments - the complete FUD and full verbal assault of ICANN's structures and Board in the name of making ICANN more accountable. The more I read the allegations on the CCWG mailing list, the more I have doubts that this community is actually able to behave in a rational and measured fashion. So here's my question to everyone here: did you ever ask yourself why you have so little trust in people your community has voted for? This has been asked before and I have never heard a response that made sense.
