</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">I want to start by saying that I have no problem with your participation in the CCWG. &nbsp;We've interacted personally in a work group in Dublin, and I found you to be a good and fair collaborator. &nbsp;Your contributions to the list have been
 articulate and positive.&nbsp;<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class="">&nbsp;</o:p></p>
</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">What I find really bothersome is that some of the positions expressed, often emotional and unfair ones such as the recent comment asking which human rights ICANN did not want to respect, seem to be based strictly upon the CCWG members pique
 and their biases, and not at all related to any position that their constituency might be willing to support.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class="">&nbsp;</o:p></p>
</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">My point is more of a macro point. &nbsp;I have no problem with clarification of public comments, or of assuring that they are all taken into account. &nbsp;What I have a problem with is CCWG members speaking not for their constituencies but for
 their own personal interests or the specific interests of their external organizations, rather than for the point of view of &nbsp;the constituencies from which they come. &nbsp;<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class="">&nbsp;</o:p></p>
</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">If you were simply pointing out that it was, among others, the comments from your organization that were not captured, then I misunderstood, and I apologize. &nbsp;If you were saying that you want to put this comment in because it comes from
 the organization you work for, that is a different matter. &nbsp;I'm glad that you clarified that you took the former position, not the latter. &nbsp;I saw your post as pushing your employer's views, and I apparently misunderstood. &nbsp;<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class="">&nbsp;</o:p></p>
</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">But the larger point still stands. &nbsp;Out of the current 6,000 posts to the list that I've retained, there have been a significant number that I believe represent personal points of view rather than constituency points of view. &nbsp;AFAIK all
 constituencies are sufficiently heterogeneous that there exist multiple points of view, many of which oppose each other. &nbsp;I would hope that CCWG members would be sufficiently judicious that they would not let themselves be swayed by their personal beliefs
 to bias their contributions to the process, and that they would recognize this multiplicity of views within their constituency as well as in others.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class="">&nbsp;</o:p></p>
</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">In addition, there have been repeated posts that spoke derogatorily of what they believe are the Board's intentions without any knowledge of actual facts or attempts at direct dialogue. &nbsp;You are not one of the people who does this. &nbsp; However,
 one result of this tendency is that the Board has become a punching bag for these people, and the behavior perpetuates itself in part because there is little if any pushback to these posts. &nbsp; It's not appreciated, it's counterproductive, it is irritating,
 and it contributes to the enlargement of a divide between groups which should be working together. &nbsp; Yet I have seen no sign whatsoever that their constituencies are concerned about this, or that there is any attempt to reprimand or change the behavior of
 their representatives. &nbsp;Is their behavior condoned by their constituency? &nbsp;I hope not.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>

</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">For a bunch of reasons, some historical, the culture surrounding this accountability exercise has acquired a component of "us vs. them." &nbsp;It has been divisive and has contributed IMO to a weakening and a lengthening of the effectiveness
 of the process. &nbsp;While this has nothing to do with my reaction to your post, it may explain the extent of my frustration in trying to engage constructively with the process.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
