[NCSG-PC] Urgent Advice Required

[Edward Morris]

Hi Ayden and all,
  
  
 The CV with nondisclosure agreement was sent to all PC members currently active on the selecting team.
  
 It is public record that I 1) am a victim of domestic violence and, 2) have restraining orders against several individuals as result. Law enforcement has advised me to keep all personally identifying information offline. 
  
 I was asked to send a CV in support of my application to continue to serve on the SSC. I found the request distasteful, to say the least. Going back to the days of my mentor, Jon Postel, we judge people here on the basis of work, not on paper. Nevertheless, over the objection of my attorney and my girlfriend, I took the risk of trusting members of this PC and provided the requested PC but with a nondisclosure clause to protect myself, my girlfriend and her young daughter from potential harm.
  
 It is not uncommon for nondisclosure clauses to accompany release of personally identifying information.
  
 I am unwilling to further subject myself and my family to harm by agreeing to processes that could result in harm to us. Apparently victims of violence are not fully able to participate in the NCSG without endangering their lives.
  
 I have compiled with the PC request to the best of my ability. I would suggest that those members of this Committee unwilling to agree not to distribute or post online my cv recuse themselves from further deliberation on this matter. There is no restriction on discussing anything I have submitted, only on the redistribution or posting online of my cv - in other words, a restriction on using the cv for reason other than that intended. 
  
 If that is not acceptable it is a sad day for victims of violence,  but even a sader day for the NCSG.

 Dear all,
  
 I have received a CV from Ed Morris in support of his candidature for the SSC.
  
 However, it has come accompanied by both a non-disclosure clause and a clause that I must delete the file after reviewing it. I am not sure who else has received these documents, as there are no email addresses other than mine in the recipient list.
  
 Under these circumstances I am unsure as to whether or not I can forward the file to the relevant assessors for their consideration ahead of our SSC call tomorrow. I am also unsure as to whether or not a document can be received under these terms given ICANN and the NCSG’s transparency requirements.
  
 I am not a lawyer, therefore I am considering sending these emails to ICANN’s General Counsel to receive his opinion on whether or not we can accept the document under the requested terms. That said, I welcome your thoughts on how I should proceed. Thank you!
  
 Best wishes,
  
 Ayden
