To all, This decision was definitely not made lightly. It was not a unilateral decision made by the Chair simply to persecute someone running against him. This was discussed at the highest levels including the aggrieved parties, the Chair and Secretariat of the NARALO and the Chair of ALAC.

The conditions for re-joining the list are fairly simple and straightforward. Additionally, the conditions do not extend to the election, I have in fact argued against removing his name from the ballot. -Garth -----Original Message----- From: na-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:na-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Danny Younger Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 9:55 PM To: NARALO Discussion List Subject: Re: [NA-Discuss] Suspension of Posting Privileges for Eric Brunner Williams I tend to concur with the viewpoints expressed by both Kieren and Bret. An action by the Chair that would result in a competing candidate's loss of posting privileges during an election cycle is ill-advised. In my view, this is an issue that properly should be forwarded to the Ombudsman's office for impartial/neutral resolution.
