Sally Costerton serving as ICANN SVP while actively soliciting and servicing unknown clients

[Ayden Férdeline]

Nick,

I had not suggested that this was a matter which necessitated "an official NCSG statement". Rather, I shared a letter from the ICANN correspondence page which I thought might be of interest to some of our members, particularly if they clicked through and read it, rather than commenting only on the paragraph that I extracted.

Regards, Ayden

Lobbing public allegations with the implication of ‘case proven’ against a person, even if they are mere senior staff, before there’s been due process and a reply from her and a finding of some sort seems inappropriate.  I am also unclear why the singular responsibility for engaging in this falls to NCSG, how did we become the community’s watchdog?  Industry members are all over Xavier already on all matters budgetary etc.
