It’s OK Niels, they also think that increased transparency is against the global public interest. I infer that they think that the GPI is equivalent to whatever gives them the least amount of constraint and the greatest amount of obscured power. To say I am disappointed in the Board is to understate the matter.

If not please find them attached. I have to say I was both dismayed and struck by surprise when I read the comments, but I am very curious to learn what you think. My main feeling was that we have already addressed all points that are brought up, but again I am very curious to hear your opinion. Finally. The biggest surprise came from the suggestion of the use of the public interest instrument, which seems to be quite far fetched to use in case of human rights. ! I can imagine the headline: ICANN board think human rights are against the public interest. Looking forward to hear what you all think.
