several years of work in the Framework of Interpretation Working<br>
Group in which 5 liaisons of the GAC (Heather Dryden, Jayantha<br>
Fernando, Frank March, Alice Munyua, Suzanne Radell) participated,<br>
and during which we briefed the GAC at almost every ICANN Meeting<br>
about our progress, they are now basically saying they know nothing<br>
about it, and they are upset about that we did it, never mind the<br>
charter and their participation.<br>
<br>
This casts doubt on the reliability and predictability of any GAC<br>
involvement and I need to know why GAC members are present and<br>
liaising (on behalf of the GAC) when the GAC later reneges.<br>
<br>
This needs to be cleared and/or settled, prior to any further work<br>
being conducted in ANY Wg with GAC involvement, but in particular<br>
this one.<br>
<br>
Or in other words, if that is the case, indeed, we do not need GAC<br>
liaison (or "members") on the CCWG-Accountability.<br>
<br>
Of course they can participate as "participants" in their personal<br>
capacity like anyone else.<br>
<br>
<br>
And, I find it ABSOLUTELY unacceptable that such a meeting is not<br>
announced to the Mailing List and conducted by the co-chairs<br>
basically behind the back of the "members", liasions, "participants"<br>
and observers.<br>
<br>
Just to make sure, that means UNACCEPTABLE! Never mind<br>
accountability.<br>
<br>
greetings, el<br>
