<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Jonathan, Dear fellow council
members<br>
<br>
Greetings and Thanks for the update Jonathan!.<br>
<br>
I do not know how the other Councillors feel, but I find the
developments and the attitudes displayed by this Panel quite
alarming as it just simply rides roughshod over the role and
function of the GNSO at least as far as I understand them. My
simple question is: "Should the GNSO not take stronger measures in
order to ensure that the GNSO and the multi stakeholder model is
not undermined and replaced by "expert" panels. I think we should
go to extraordinary measures to defend the multi stakeholder
model, imperfect as it is. We owe it to our constituencies and
those who voted for us. Talking to the Board about it,
participating in meetings with the Panel whose outcome is pre
determined and nobody really listening, does not seem enough to me
at this moment. They just will do what they want to do if they are
not forced to listen. It might be time to man and women and
barricades against the expert panel hordes? Is the GNSO such a
push over that it takes just some ill informed, but well funded,
academics to render it impotent? I hope not! Our position should
be: either everything that is recommended and implemented by any
of the panels goes through the full GNSO procedures, or the GNSO
steps down as it has lost his function. I know some say that the
recommendations will go through the GNSO pdp, but the words,
attitudes and actions of the panels clearly indicate otherwise. <br>
<br>
I sincerely hope that it is the case that I am completely wrong
and over reacting at this point, because that would mean one huge
problem less.<br>
<br>
Yours<br>
<br>
Klaus<br>
