[NCSG-PC] TOO FAST: Is ICANN helping to subvert its own governance model?

[Kathy Kleiman]

All,  I'm sorry, but I do not support the sending of this letter right now.

We have members - wonderful members - who were deeply involved in the 
work of saving AfriNIC. They really stood on the front lines working, 
writing, drafting amicus briefs for the court and truly working hard to 
keep the Supreme Court of Mauritius from dissolving AfriNIC.

/One of our members is now on the Board of AfriNIC, and further, he was 
elected Chair of AfriNIC.  Before we do anything to hurt things -- why 
don't we do some more research?  Why don't we talk to our members (who 
may be taking a much needed rest as they are very quiet)?/

Questions and letters can hurt -- we've been warned by Anriette and I 
confirm. /Also, could someone please tell me who Alice is working for 
these days? /It would be fair and useful to know.

/*Why the rush?  Let's wait until next week -- and take the time to talk 
with our own members and leaders. Let's not inadvertently hurt something 
new and growing -- let's wait for our members who are directly involved 
to work with us. */

Best, Kathy
