Dear Katrina, dear all, I also endorse the draft letter. Only one minor observation and something to be further examined by native English speaking people. There is a mention in the draft letter of “your selection” Your selection is on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) If I read this, it is almost as we are referring to a “thing” and not to a person. I agree that we should keep the tone of our letter neutral and to the point but we are referring to the selection of a person (and more specifically the affiliation of that person that is causing the problem) and not to an object. So maybe, this could/should be replaced by wording like “The person you selected”? I further support sending a copy to John Jeffrey so that the ICANN legal department is fully informed of our legitimate concerns. And lastly, I find it absolutely necessary to inform Ms. Moll about our action towards the NomCom. I quite like Nigel’s suggestion to keep this very straightforward and not take the risk to diffuse the message by sending a lengthy (and potentially apologizing) letter to Ms. Moll. So, I’m in favor of a brief cover letter with an attached copy of the communication to the NomCom chair. Best regards, Peter Peter Vergote Legal & Corp.

Do you support the proposal? (why yes or no?) * In the letter it it is mentioned that we are going to write a separate letter to Ms Moll to share our concerns and ask for her opinion on the conflict. This letter still needs to be drafted (if we agree that we should send one). Kind regards, ]{atrina
