Greg, Pls kindly read your message below quote *"I wanted to acknowledge receipt of the emails about Farzaneh's question:* *"Farzaneh Badii: (07:28) If you get a response about ICANN jurisdiction that does not directly relate to the questions but it is a problem that ICANN jurisdiction raises, is the group going to discard it?or are we gonna discuss it within the mandate of the group…"* *It is certainly a question that deserves a response; indeed, it deserves a well-considered response. It is also a question that raises several other questions, which also deserve responses.* *The Co-Chairs have also noted the question, and I expect that a coordinated response will be more useful to the group. We will get back to the group as soon as possible, though it may not be possible to do so in time for today's CCWG-Plenary call.* *Best regards,"* 2017-01-20 23:04 GMT+01:00 Greg Shatan <gregshatanipc@gmail.com>:
All,
I don't recall saying that answering the question was outside the mandate of the Subgroup, nor do I recall referring the question to the Co-Chairs. What I wrote was "The Co-Chairs have also noted the question, and I expect that a coordinated response will be more useful to the group. We will get back to the group as soon as possible, though it may not be possible to do so in time for today's CCWG-Plenary call."
What I sent back to the group today was the "coordinated response" (i.e., coordinated between me and the Co-Chairs). I was not speaking on behalf of the Co-Chairs, but rather providing the response that the Co-Chairs and I had coordinated.
I hope that clarifies matters.
Best regards,
Greg

Dear Co-Chairs, I was surprised and frustrated in the manner that you have treated that important question raised by Farzaneh Badii( pls read WS2- Jurisdiction Note A question was raised , Greg confirmed that it is outside the mandate of sub group dealing with Jurisdiction8 Which I disagree) Greg referred the question to co-chairs and he came back and said something on your behalf. It is inappropriate that you pronounce yourselves through a sub ordinate group. I formally and officially request you to reply to that question which I will communicate your reply to GAC and you kindly need to explain your rational for reply. This is an important issue and needs to be properly handled
