Dear Katrina, dear Council Following the completion of the Board Member Election, and noting the content of the discussions held by other members of Council in the two "Special Council Meetings" regarding the matter of disqualifications to serve for ccNSO-elected Board members (a.k.a "due diligence") . . . In order to reassure all concerned (including the Members, the Council and ICANN Board/Legal/HR), after the election result was public, I have taken the following actions to provide a measure of individual reassurance in respect to various theoretical concerns that arose after the election was called, principally as a result of the public commentary of Mr Andruff in Abu Dhabi. 1. I have requested an official extract of UK and Guernsey records from the Guernsey Police Disclosure and Vetting Unit which I will, upon receipt, immediately forward to the ICANN Company Secretary and/or ICANN Human Resources, as appropriate. See http://www.guernsey.police.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=102646&p=0 for information about DBS checks. 2. Alongside with this, I will provide consent that the ICANN Organization may undertake whatever lawful inquiries it considers appropriate in order to satisfy itself that I am a fit and proper person (under applicable law in UK/Guernsey as well as in California) to serve as a Director of a California corporation. I trust the above will provide those Council Members requiring it, the necessary reassurances as to my bona fides. Kind regards
