Dear El, Thanks for the note. I can assure you that I have spoken to Allan about the email as his inference and labeling was inappropriate. As I am sure you will agree, we should hold every member of our community to the same standard. The "corner" it will be for all who speak inappropriately of others:=) Cheers, Byron -----Original Message----- From: Dr Eberhard W Lisse [mailto:el@lisse.NA] Sent: February-24-16 11:01 AM To: Allan MacGillivray; Byron Holland; ccnso-members@icann.org; ccnso-council@icann.org Cc: el@lisse.NA; paul.rosenzweig@redbranchconsulting.com Subject: Re: [ccnso-members] RELEASE: Sen. Cruz: ICANN CEO Fadi Chehade Is Misleading the United States Senate Dear Byron, thank you for posting the press release. Will you please explain to your staff member how the multi stakeholder process works? You have my permission to send him to stand in the corner, but not to spank him. Even conservative think tankers may make as much trouble as me :-)-O, or anyone else. However, this is public knowledge plastered all over the place My personal opinion is that Mr Chehadé's response (if you can call it that) is at the least ill advised but most likely hubris in order to alienate either the next (chronically pissed off) President of the US or a VERY pissed off junior Senator from Alberta, who may just have a point here. As he may have had on the root zone issue. The troublemaker reads in copy. el On 2016-02-24 16:36, Allan MacGillivray wrote:

There is a guy on the CCWG list, Paul Rosenzweig, from a conservative think tank in DC. He got the press release directly from a Cruz staffer and sent it to the CCWG list yesterday. And guess who is one of the CCWG trouble makers, Paul Roesenzweig.......
