Jordan,

As much I respect you and your cumulative body of work on behalf of the multi-stakeholder community that is ICANN, I have to take serious exception to your comments below.

I'll put aside my serious questions regarding Board actions with respect to this matter to date and their compliance with the Bylaws --I alluded to it in a prior email to Council, and my concerns will be forthcoming.

I am thus at the "...push pause on any discussions or work, until we meet next week." appeal to me.

Why?  Why should I cease to elicit comments on the Board's queries to us from those within our Community who dedicated pro-bono time and effort to (at least) 63 meetings of the Review Mechanism working group?  Should we suddenly cast their expertise and interest in this matter aside?

Is there a need to cast Council's deliberations on the questions the Board posed to us regarding the Review Mechanism into the shade and not have them transparent, if not to the Community writ large, at least to those Community members that devoted hours and hours of their time to producing said policy, adopted by the Council as well as the Community?

I fail to see why the effect of my actions "...has been to preclude some choices we could have made about how to handle this issue..."

Please educate me on this.

My intent has been to simply gather thoughts about the Board's concerns from those who worked on the policy development, and try to get those thoughts captured in the Board's document to us for the upcoming Council's deliberation about this matter.  Frankly, it never occurred to me that pulling together this information would be so controversial.  I am thus somewhat taken aback for the vilification this effort has brought down on me.

Best regards,

//Stephen

Hi all

Stephen, may I ask that you desist from involving non-Council members in this matter until the Council has determined how to proceed?

Since you have already shared the document widely beyond the Council, I would simply ask that you push pause on any discussions or work, until we meet next week.

The effect of your actions has been to preclude some choices we could have made about how to handle this issue, and I think that is regrettable.

Cheers

Jordan

Greetings,

A quick update:

Bernard Turcotte and I are jointly working on replies to the Board’s document seeking clarification/confirmation that Alejandra circulated to us last week.  I expect we will have something to share with the Council by the end of the week.

Best Regards,
