[NCSG-FC] ICANN64 Meeting plenary [Attn Stephanie]

Wed Mar 13 08:16:19 EET 2019

Good morning Stephanie and all

I hope this meets you well.

My response will be inline below.

I would suggest we vote on the Chair as the first item of business.  We
need to allow all members of the Finance Committee, including observers, a
chance to speak.    I believe we have agreement that the Finance Committee
at the moment, as a three person committee, is rather small.

*I must state here that this suggestion is absurd to and considering NCSG
Charter and I have not seen offices change prior to an ICANN meeting or in
the midst of it. I hope you are not being wrongly advised. Additionally,
observers anywhere does not got to vote and no one can change the charter
unilaterally.*

*I really do not want to believe there is a script being played or acted
here. Yes, Thato has been changed from the NCUC appointee and if my
information is right, his tenure ends at the end in Kobe not in middle ma.*

*I hope we are ready to work under your chair leadership. I will advise
that you take things easy as I am his vice and should assume office on his
retirement or replacement and not appointed by anyone outside the FC. we
have plans to increase FC membership soon after the Kobe and will need your
kind support.*

*The decision to cede the chairmanship of NCSG-FC was between the FC Reps
and not of NCUC entitlement or NCSG EC and at any event since he is being
replaced, it falls upon me as the next in command.*

*If you read my comments before Kobe and on appointment of Ayden, I had
welcomed him and was keen in working with him peacefully and with your
comments above, it negates that purpose. *

May I suggest that you have already spoked for over 15 minutes in the NCUC
meeting, and over 30 minutes in the NCSG meeting....lets try to have a
conversation and avoid repetition.  As i have pointed out previously, the
procedures are not ready for public discussion.  I would suggest you ask
yourself what those procedures need to achieve, and open the floor for
proposals.

*It may be true you have heard Thato (NCSG-FC) speak in more than one
occasion, may be in the last 24 hours, this particular session was not
meant for you alone but the community and I will highly advise that the
programme and agenda be allowed to run as planned except if there is any
other things amiss.*
