Danny, As you have always been one of the strongest voices in counseling us to focus on policy rather than infighting, I hope you will also help us to leave behind personal attacks and work with us to make the ALAC more responsive to the at-large community. With work, I hope we can minimize such feelings of miscommunication in the future. Thanks, --Wendy Danny Younger wrote:
Robert Guerra on the NARALO discussion list has revealed that "Consultations were done with key people active on the NA list as well as those in ICANN. Consultations were done privately on a one-to-one basis."
These consultations with "those in ICANN" resulted in a duly nominated and confirmed candidate being removed from the voting roster.
I find it highly disturbing that elected members of the NARALO feel at liberty to consult with "those in ICANN" without engaging in any consultation with those in the NARALO membership.
Who are "those in ICANN" that were consulted? Are ICANN Board members or ICANN Staff complicit in a process to rig the ALAC elections? Or is Robert referring to others? It is his wish that those consultations remain privileged.
We deserve a full investigation into this matter. I remain of the view that a legitimate candidate was treatly unfairly and that at the very least the Ombudsman should be called in to review this matter.
