Chris Very kind of you to be so supportive. However, I said I would resign if what has happened took place. The business constituency and its executive committee will have a hard task of convincing any business why they ought to be involved with a very narrow interest base with diminishing membership profile beyond a very small group of ICANN insiders. I wish the group well. Liz On 5 Feb 2010, at 15:42, Chris Chaplow wrote:
Dear Liz,
I write in the hopes that you will reconsider you resignation from the BC.
Whilst I understand your point about the need for broader group to tackle the wide range of issues at stake, this 'problem' is best solved by continued and ongoing outreach work and encouraging newcomers like myself to find their feet and eventually stand for elected positions.
As a rank and file member, I thank you for the enormous amount of work that you have put in to date and hope that you will continue to help ICANN and the constituency from the inside.
With best regards, .

Dear colleagues
There is little point in being part of an organisation so dominated by US based interests. There is nought to congratulate ourselves about being so clearly dominated by one particular group when there are such broader issues at stake. We have failed substantially to meet our charter obligations and the new executive committee will have a large task on its hands to ensure a fresh and innovative approach to representing business interests across the board.
I have asked Gary to remove me from BC membership with immediate effect.
Liz
