<p>Marc,</p>
<p>I share everyone's comment and ask that you do not leave the group. You have much experience to share. I believe if you filled out your COI statement correctly that is all that is needed to be transparent. If everyone left the group over a perceived or
possible future conflict of interest there would be very few people left. So please stay and contribute</p>
<p>Best,</p>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi all,<br>
<br>
After reading the Board reply with respect to 'Conflict Of Interest', it is getting obvious that the Board does not encourage that ccWG-members would also nominate for receiving/dispersing auction-funds later-on.<br>
<br>
I have to respect that, and therefor have decided to leave the ccWG per today.<br>
<br>
Note that NLnet Foundation over the last 20 years has been very active in dispersing our own charity-fund to hundreds of Internet projects, the last years primarily on open source and cybersecurity.
<br>
<br>
It was our intention to share our 'Internet-charity-experience' with this team DURING the ccWG, AND to provide support with dispersing parts of the auction-funds to the right non-profit cybersecurity projects AFTER the ccWG.<br>
<br>
Now that it retrospectively turns out that the first support may exclude us from the second support, we have no choice than to leave the ccWG, since potentially receiving a (modest) part of the ICANN funds is crucial for our NLnet-battle against exponentially
growing cybersecurity threats.<br>
<br>
Many thanks for working together with you, and all the best with the remaining work in the ccWG !<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Marc<br>
