<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I don't recall stating that I was considering resignation from my co-chair role at this WG previously, but it's not worth debating. While I can't
speak for any of the other co-chairs, my conversations with them over the past 24 hours have indicated that at least one is giving consideration to similar action due to potential exposure to litigation and inability to administer the WG effectively in the
wake of the letter received from Mr. Kirikos' attorneys this week. Finally, I understand that I have no authority to suspend the WG and made the suspension statement contemplating the context of possible resignations of more than one co-chair.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As I am responding to you, I would also like to state that I was contacted by ICANN Legal yesterday and asked if I would meet to discuss this matter
with Samantha Eisner and John Jeffrey in Barcelona. I immediately responded in the affirmative but was notified mid-day today that JJ's schedule does not permit such a meeting here. I have already indicated to Legal the times next week that I am available
for a discussion, as well as my belief that there is a need for a satisfactory resolution prior to the next scheduled meeting of the WG on November 7<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Finally, Goran just made a statement regarding this matter at the conclusion of the Public Forum. While I welcome his direction that JJ take charge
of an immediate review with the aim of assisting the WG in moving forward, his statement did include one significant factual error. I am therefore appending this email with the text of another that I just sent out in that regard.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I do hope that this matter can be resolved swiftly so that the WG can continue to make progress and stay on its timeline.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Goran just made the statement below on the ESB dispute within the RPM WG at the conclusion of the Public Forum, which I captured from the raw transcript.
The statement references the letter received on Monday from Mr. Kirikos' attorneys, and states that he has assigned JJ to look into the issues surrounding the matter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Goran's statement that, "WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN DISPUTES WITHIN THE GROUP, AND IT'S MORE OR LESS BEEN STALLED FOR THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS"
is factually incorrect. Greg Shatan's ESB complaint was filed in June, so its resolution has been stalled for four months. However, the WG has made substantial progress on its work during the past few months, including the consideration, and adoption for Initial
Report public comment purposes, of 34 sub-team recommendations and 33 individual proposals for URS operational and policy modifications. However, the escalation of outside counsel involvement beyond the original ESB complaint to occurrences within WG meetings

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black">FYI below. Phil has threatened to resign from the Co-Chair role before, which would be unfortunate and a little disruptive. This time he indicates that
there may also be an "indeterminate suspension of the working group's activities." I'm not sure Co-chairs are allowed to suspend PDPs without Council's OK. Obviously, this situation has now reached a critical point and threatens the timeline of this PDP
which, if you believe in the existence of dependencies between this PDP and the Sub Pro PDP, could result in a delay of Round 2, ultimately affecting ICANN's revenue stream. So, I think we should take this up as a matter of urgency. I don't know if this
is properly under Item 2 (Liaisons) of our agenda for later this evening or item 9 (dysfunctional PDPs). If neither, can we please add it?</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I certainly understand that John has a busy schedule during the meeting. However, it is very unfortunate that at least a preliminary discussion was
unable to take place here in Barcelona.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The current situation involves an alleged violation of the Expected Standards of Behavior (ESB), which is a Board-adopted accountability measure.
Agreement to comply with the ESB is a threshold requirement for participation by any individual in any ICANN activity. The individual alleged to have violated the ESB has taken the position that it is unenforceable against him under the current GNSO Guidelines,
which raises the question of whether his consent to abide by it was sincere and valid. He has introduced private counsel into the enforcement procedure, when my prior experience with ESB enforcement actions in the context of GNSO working groups is that it
is meant to be an informal procedure, with appeal of any adverse decision to GNSO Council available under section 3.7 of the Guidelines.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">These actions have rendered the co-chairs unable to perform their ESB enforcement role, and the individual claiming to be harmed by the alleged
ESB violation has stated that the introduction of private counsel into the procedure is fundamentally unfair to him. There is also the claim by the accused individual that two of the three co-chairs are biased against him and must recuse themselves due to
his own prior actions, a claim with which I disagree. Finally, the accused individual maintains a Twitter account with 1822 followers (as of today) to which he has in the past reposted his communications made on working group email lists; creating the possibility
that statements made regarding this situation will be distributed to a large audience of unknown individuals and harm the public reputation of the co-chairs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Under these circumstances, it was justified and welcome for Council to take the matter out of the hands of the co-chairs at the conclusion of the
GNSO discussion of it that took place on Sunday the 21<sup>st</sup>, with the co-chairs being told that the matter would be dealt with further by Council in consultation with ICANN Legal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Since Sunday an additional communication from the accused individual's attorneys makes clear that their involvement now extends beyond the original
allegation, and that any statement or action of any of the co-chairs to or in regard to their client in the context of working group meetings may trigger further communications by them to ICANN Legal. This escalation of their involvement means that the co-chairs
not only have no present ability to decide ESB complaints, but that any direct engagement by the co-chairs with their client may be the subject of further action by private counsel, including the implicit threat of litigation brought against the co-chairs
individually. This situation will have a substantial chilling effect on the ability of the co-chairs to administer the working group in an effective and orderly manner, especially since the communication received to date from ICANN Legal on the subject of
indemnification under Section 20.1 of the Bylaws provides no firm assurance that the co-chairs will be regarded as "agents" eligible for indemnification if they are the targets of private litigation, and the co-chairs are also now aware that there are no ICANN-adopted
Guidelines for "good faith" conduct in such situations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

that some satisfactory response to this situation occur before that date, as failure to do so may result in an indeterminate suspension of the working group's activities and/or the resignation of one or more of the co-chairs.</span></strong><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
