Thanks for this link Rudi. I saw the announcement in LHR yesterday but it
was a barebones report.
Best,

Dear Rudi,
thanks for this message regarding your resignation from the new gTLD RG. And yes, I have noted your message from 15 June to this list indicating potential CoI concerning some applicants where you clearly announced your neutrality. Let me take the opportunity to thank you for this immediate transparency and - as mentioned in Prague - I have no doubt about your openness and integrity in any respect.
As the user representation at ICANN is always struggling for an utmost transparency and accountability, I appreciate that we include the very factor of appearance into our considerations to make sure that this becomes a common standard for our credibility -- not only for our constituency. I therefore appreciate and respect this resignation as a best practice.
If any other colleague from EURALO would like to step in and to take over this role in the new gTLD Review Group, please let me know ASAP.
For the moment, let me thank you for all your commitment you proofed for our community!
Kind regards,
Wolf

Dear colleagues,
As you may remember I've posted on June 15th a message mentioning an unforeseen Conflict of Interest due to my election within the BoT of ISOC.
After having had the discussions during the ICANN meetings in Prague with regards to my position in the new GTLD Review Group and later talks to some members, I've decided to resign from the new GTLD Review Group as a member and this with respect to the neutrality and open discussion of the group itself. As many of you know, I've never illustrated favoritism or any other relationships that could damage my neutrality and the transparency with which I'm engaging myself in the tasks and missions of ALAC and EURALO.
In hope I will have another chance to bring in my knowledge and experiences in the near future, however I wish you all great and successful work and the necessary energy to accomplish the difficult tasks.
Kind regards,
Rudi Vansnick
