To all - this situation

If this has indeed gone to legal/ombudsman there should be NO FURTHER discussion of it here. This of course includes the two parties but anyone else in NARALO commenting on it or attaching the history to replies. I would encourage everyone to not feed speculation and let the appropriate mechanisms address it.

>> With a $0 budget. Get real. > That's incorrect. It is not a $0 budget. You're right, it's a $0 budget for the RALO members. The ALAC is valuable to ICANN to provide the impression that it is less captured by contracted parties than it is. If ICANN thinks it's in its interest to have more organizations join the NARALO, ICANN should spend its money to recruit them, which to a modest extent it does. It is definitely not the job of the existing members to spend our time and money to go find more suckers^Whighly engaged organizations. R's, John

This is a recommendation to the ALAC that I would be happy to support when the time comes. On top of his other skills in use for our community, Glenn is definitely an asset to the At-Large on NomCom. It makes good sense to keep him working for all of us. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= Message: 2 > Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 15:16:02 -0400 > From: Glenn McKnight <mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com> > Subject: [NA-Discuss] Withdrawal for Nomination for Secretariat > To: na-discuss(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org > > > Hi All > I am formally withdrawing from the self-nomination for NARALO Secretary > but I will self nominate myself again for NOMCOM. > > As I mentioned in passing the NomCom process has been quite challenging > this round due a host of reasons that I am not able to disclose.

Google to tackle internet crime with Illicit Networks summit
by Glenn McKnight July 18, 2012

July 18, 2012

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/jul/17/google-tech-knowhow-intern… Google is attempting to turn the tables on criminals and terrorists who exploit the internet <http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/internet> by using its search capabilities to expose and disrupt illicit activity. The internet giant has launched a campaign<http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/google-ideas-joining-fight-against-d…> against the secrecy and impunity of drug cartels, organ harvesters, cyber-criminals, violent radicals and traffickers in arms and people. It has assembled victims, law enforcers, politicians, academics and technology experts to devise strategies in a two-day summit<http://www.google.com/ideas/focus.html%20end> in Los Angeles, starting Tuesday, called Illicit Networks: Forces in Opposition. Google Ideas, the company's thinktank, has teamed up with the Council on Foreign Relations, Interpol and other organisations to look for ways to use technology against organised crime, jihadists and others. "Google is in a great position to take these on," Rani Hong, a survivor of child trafficking in India who is now a special adviser to the United Nations, told reporters on the eve of the event. "They're a powerful medium and they have great tools to solve this problem." It is the brainchild of Google's executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, and the thinktank's head, Jared Cohen, a former state department wunderkind best known for persuading Twitter to delay maintenance so that protesters could continue communicating during upheaval in Iran in 2009. The summit has assembled an eclectic mix including Ronald Noble, Interpol's secretary general; Juan Pablo Escobar, son of the late Colombian drug lord; Alejandro Poire, Mexico's interior minister; Okello Sam, a Ugandan former child soldier; Andy Weber, assistant secretary for nuclear, chemical and biological defense programs at the US department of defense; and a group of North Korean defectors. Others due to attend include former homeland security secretary Michael Chertoff, senior executives from JP Morgan Chase and Credit Suisse, experts in DNA and counterfeiting and civic society leaders. Stewart Patrick, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations who helped organise the event, told AP: "It might sound like a different path for Google, but technology companies today have a lot of powerful tools for bringing transparency to these illicit networks, to fight back against corruption and empower those who are trying to combat transnational crime." Participants will discuss how illicit surgeons and organ brokers smuggle kidneys and other organs; how whistleblowers can expose narcotics networks; how insurance fraudsters and counterfeiters use evade borders. Another topic will be how recovered human skin and bone is transformed into dental and cosmetic products for plumping up lips or smoothing wrinkles. This gathering follows a conference Google organised in Ireland<http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2011/06/google-ideas-launches-summit…> last year which assembled dozens of former gang members and radical militants to discuss ways technology can inhibit others following their footsteps. Cohen, one of the few high-ranking state department officials to serve both the Bush and Obama administrations, joined Google last year to head a small New York-based team and practise what he has called 21st century statecraft. He calls Google Ideas a "think/do-tank", reflecting Silicon Valley confidence – hubris, say critics – at tackling complicated, deep-rooted problems. - [image: Print this]<http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/jul/17/google-tech-knowhow-intern…> - <http://www.guardian.co.uk/share/1774748> - --

Re: [NA-Discuss] Withdrawal for Nomination for Secretariat
by Alan Greenberg July 17, 2012

July 17, 2012

I have long pushed for more pro-active NomCom people named by the ALAC. Although we have had such appointees in the past, they have not been common. Glenn has done a good job at it, not losing contact with those who nominated him despite the need for NomCom confidentiality. I support his nomination as continuity, to the extent allowed by term limits, is really crutial.

Garth... It would have been a nice professional and even personal courtesy had you perhaps shot me an e-mail, skype or whatever about this, especially after all the support I have given you and Knujon over the years (frequent shout-outs about your work in various media; helping to get your data spotlighted, pursuing the compliance people, etc., not to mention recommending you for nom com).
