<div dir="ltr">Good point Chris,<div><br></div><div>1) Maybe a Quiz on the terms of use on the ICANN Adobe Connect page would be a good point to start a personal introspection about this issue. </div><div><br></div><div>2) Next, I would recognise that some legal experts take note of the great efforts some lawyers in the list take to make issues clear and understandable to non-US non-lawyers. I won't mention names here, but they both know how much I appreciate the clarity and good style they use for the benefit and representativenes of the whole exercise. This should not become a race to demonstrate the smartest legal argument, but the general public good of the proposals and ideas and make it more inclusive.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank for raising it</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature">Carlos Raúl Gutiérrez<br>ISOC Costa Rica Chapter<br>skype carlos.raulg<br>+506 8837 7176 (New Phone number!!!!)<br>________<br>Apartado 1571-1000<br>COSTA RICA</div></div>

It is easy to get distracted if there are personal comments about another contributor, which can sometimes lead to a trail of discussion on the problems between the individuals rather than the more important work. I have noticed such comments, and would ask contributors to think carefully before they criticise another person, or even use humour about that person. In my experience cross-cultural humour can be a risky course and not always understood by the recipient. I am always ready to discuss matters with individuals who feel concerned, and try to resolve these by mediation techniques.
