ICANN61 Still Slated for Puerto Rico
by Joke Braeken Oct. 10, 2017

Oct. 10, 2017

Dear all, I have copied below for your convenience the content of a blog post by Nick Tomasso, Vice President, Global Meeting Operations & Managing Director - Middle East & Africa It took less than 24 hours—one day—for Hurricane Maria to devastate Puerto Rico and many of its neighbors, but it will take years for them to recover. It is an understatement to say that for everyone affected, the journey back to their once normal lives will be long, painful, and economically challenging. ICANN joins the rest of the world in extending heartfelt hopes that Puerto Rico will experience a speedy recovery. We want to back up that sentiment by publicly expressing our strong desire to keep ICANN61 in the Puerto Rican capital of San Juan. The public meeting is scheduled for 10-15 March 2018. Our sincere hope is that by that time, recovery on the island will have advanced to the point where our meeting can proceed as scheduled. It is one way that we can all show meaningful economic support for this storm-battered U.S. territory. We are working with our hosts to closely monitor the recovery efforts on Puerto Rico, and will keep the ICANN community apprised as the date of our meeting draws nearer. If it is determined that the recovery efforts don’t advance to the point where San Juan can reasonably support a conference that will likely draw several thousand, we will then look for an alternative location. At this point however, that is neither our desire nor our intention.

Re: [ccnso-council] withdrawal as nomcom appointee
by Katrina Sataki Oct. 9, 2017

Oct. 9, 2017

Dear Ms Moll, Thank you for your email informing us, the NomCom, and ICANN that you have withdrawn from your NomCom appointment to the ccNSO Council. The Council understands how you must feel regarding this situation, and we would like to sincerely thank you for your understanding, and for the action that you took to resolve this matter. Please accept our sincere apologies for how this matter played out. We also regret the length of time that elapsed, but this was due in no small part for the need of the Council to formally debate this matter in its regularly scheduled monthly meeting, and to draft and approve the letter to the NomCom. We very much encourage you to remain involved in the ICANN multi-stakeholder process, as you have considerable skills to lend to the ICANN ecosystem. We thank you again for your understanding in this matter. Warmest Regards, Katrina Sataki, on behalf of the ccNSO Council From: Marita Moll [mailto:mmoll@ca.inter.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2017 11:08 PM To: Katrina Sataki <katrina(a)nic.lv>; 'hph(a)oslo.net' <hph(a)oslo.net> Cc: 'Steve Crocker' <steve.crocker(a)board.icann.org>; 'john.jeffrey(a)icann.org' <john.jeffrey(a)icann.org>; 'Joette Youkhanna' <joette.youkhanna(a)icann.org>; Herb Waye <herb.waye(a)icann.org> Subject: withdrawal as nomcom appointee VIA EMAIL October 4, 2017 To: Mr. Hans Petter Holen, Chair, ICANN Nominating Committee, Ms. Katrina Sataki, Chair, ccNSO CC: Steve Crocker, Chair, ICANN Board of Directors, John Jeffrey, ICANN Legal Council, Herb Waye, ICANN Ombudsman Dear Mr. Holen and Ms. Sataki: This is to inform you that, in order to close the chapter on this unfortunate affair, I am withdrawing as nomcom appointee on the ccNSO council. Although I have been advised that my selection is still in effect and there is nothing prohibiting me from taking this position, it would be far too difficult to establish a positive working relationship in the negative environment that has developed around my selection. This is regrettable as I think I have a lot to contribute to the work of ccNSO. However, I am withdrawing at this time so the nomcom can select another candidate before the Abu Dhabi meeting. I do want to take this opportunity to express my feelings about the events of the last few weeks. For a volunteer community-based participant in this still evolving multi-stakeholder model, this has been a difficult time. I believe in the model and I was offering to contribute a considerable amount of my personal time and resources to the effort. Suddenly I was caught in the cross-fire of a rapidly escalating dispute between the ccNSO and the nomcom. The furor which erupted around my selection apparently resulted from different understandings on candidate eligibility between these two parties. This confusion needs to be addressed before anyone else is caught in the middle of such a dispute. It is also unacceptable that I was not informed about the conflict for an entire month after my selection was announced, a full month in which not one person contacted me to explain the situation. It was not until a few days ago, on Sept. 29, that I received an e-mail from the ccNSO chair informing me about the letter sent to the nomcom denouncing my appointment. I was shocked. Before I had a chance to think about it, the letter in question rapidly circulated and, within a few days, a situation that could have been contained and resolved early on became a news story on the Internet. At this point I contacted ICANN Ombudsman Herb Waye and I am very grateful for his steady guidance in helping me work through this process. Finally, I hope both parties will agree that I am owed a full and public apology for the way this dispute was handled, allowing it to spiral out of control. I know it was never my fault, but it obviously affects me as I am the candidate in question. My standing inside and outside the ICANN community should not suffer from this internecine dispute in which, everyone agrees, I am an innocent party. Sincerely Marita Moll Sincerely Marita Moll

FW: withdrawal as nomcom appointee
by Katrina Sataki Oct. 5, 2017

Oct. 5, 2017

FYI From: Marita Moll <mmoll(a)ca.inter.net> Date: Wednesday, 4 October 2017 at 23:08 To: Katrina Sataki <katrina(a)nic.lv>, "'hph(a)oslo.net'" <hph(a)oslo.net> Cc: "<steve.crocker(a)board.icann.org>;'john.jeffrey(a)icann.org'<john.jeffrey(a)icann.org>; 'Steve Crocker' 'Joette Youkhanna'" <joette.youkhanna(a)icann.org>, Herb Waye <herb.waye(a)icann.org> Subject: withdrawal as nomcom appointee VIA EMAIL October 4, 2017 To: Mr. Hans Petter Holen, Chair, ICANN Nominating Committee, Ms. Katrina Sataki, Chair, ccNSO CC: Steve Crocker, Chair, ICANN Board of Directors, John Jeffrey, ICANN Legal Council, Herb Waye, ICANN Ombudsman Dear Mr. Holen and Ms. Sataki: This is to inform you that, in order to close the chapter on this unfortunate affair, I am withdrawing as nomcom appointee on the ccNSO council. Although I have been advised that my selection is still in effect and there is nothing prohibiting me from taking this position, it would be far too difficult to establish a positive working relationship in the negative environment that has developed around my selection. This is regrettable as I think I have a lot to contribute to the work of ccNSO. However, I am withdrawing at this time so the nomcom can select another candidate before the Abu Dhabi meeting. I do want to take this opportunity to express my feelings about the events of the last few weeks. For a volunteer community-based participant in this still evolving multi-stakeholder model, this has been a difficult time. I believe in the model and I was offering to contribute a considerable amount of my personal time and resources to the effort. Suddenly I was caught in the cross-fire of a rapidly escalating dispute between the ccNSO and the nomcom. The furor which erupted around my selection apparently resulted from different understandings on candidate eligibility between these two parties. This confusion needs to be addressed before anyone else is caught in the middle of such a dispute. It is also unacceptable that I was not informed about the conflict for an entire month after my selection was announced, a full month in which not one person contacted me to explain the situation. It was not until a few days ago, on Sept. 29, that I received an e-mail from the ccNSO chair informing me about the letter sent to the nomcom denouncing my appointment. I was shocked. Before I had a chance to think about it, the letter in question rapidly circulated and, within a few days, a situation that could have been contained and resolved early on became a news story on the Internet. At this point I contacted ICANN Ombudsman Herb Waye and I am very grateful for his steady guidance in helping me work through this process. Finally, I hope both parties will agree that I am owed a full and public apology for the way this dispute was handled, allowing it to spiral out of control. I know it was never my fault, but it obviously affects me as I am the candidate in question. My standing inside and outside the ICANN community should not suffer from this internecine dispute in which, everyone agrees, I am an innocent party. Sincerely Marita Moll Sincerely Marita Moll

by Katrina Sataki Oct. 3, 2017

Oct. 3, 2017

Dear All, I regret to tell you that there will be NO ccNSO Cocktail in Abu Dhabi (ICANN 60). Although we received many kind proposals to sponsor the cocktail, getting the required funding proved to be too difficult if not impossible this time. On behalf of the ccNSO Council I would like to thank everyone who intended to sponsor the cocktail. Thank you very much! Please rest assured that the ccNSO Council and Secretariat, with invaluable help and support of our generous sponsors, will put in their best efforts to make the next ccNSO cocktail happen at ICANN 61! Please also note that on the Tuesday, there will be the farewell event for Steve Crocker. See you all there! Kind regards, ]{atrina
