<span>"Fearmongering or scaremongering is the spreading of frightening and</span><br>
<span>exaggerated rumors of an impending danger or the habit or tactic of</span><br>
<span>purposely and needlessly arousing public fear about an issue.[1][2][3]</span><br>
<span>This can take the form of psychological manipulation that uses</span><br>
<span>fear-based tactics (scare tactics) including exaggeration and usually</span><br>
<span>repetition to influence the public in order to achieve a desired</span><br>
<span>outcome.[citation needed] It is a tactic used to scare or put fear</span><br>
<span>into those viewing a campaign/advertisement and influence the outcome</span><br>
<span>based on fear."</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>You've repeatedly used the "Thelma and Louise" metaphor,</span><br>

<span>driving off a cliff, that the entire report would get rejected if</span><br>
<span>Option C wasn't selected. These aren't "new facts" or "new analysis"</span><br>
<span>being used to push Option C. They're fear and politics, plain and</span><br>
<span>simple. The "art of the possible", as though this is a negotiation,</span><br>
<span>rather a truth-seeking exercise. I'm not the only one that recognizes</span><br>
<span>this -- see the messages by Paul Keating and Mike Rodenbaugh</span><br>

<span></span><br>
<span>When I have in the past, you've said that:</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span><a href="http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-igo-ingo-crp/2017-October/000877.html">http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-igo-ingo-crp/2017-October/000877.html</a></span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>"I am not going to even begin to attempt a point-by-point response to</span><br>
<span>your extremely long message."</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>My message you refer to:</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span><a href="http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-igo-ingo-crp/2017-October/000876.html">http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-igo-ingo-crp/2017-October/000876.html</a></span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>is 1,908 words, according to <a href="http://Wordcounter.net">http://Wordcounter.net</a>. According to
<a href="http://Medium.com">http://Medium.com</a>,</span><br>
<span>the average adult reads at 275 Words Per Minute:</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span><a href="https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/214991667-Read-time">https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/214991667-Read-time</a></span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>so apparently a 7 minute long article is "extremely long". Of course,</span><br>
<span>many of us have above average in reading skill, given our higher</span><br>
<span>education, etc. Lawyers (I'm not one) should have especially high</span><br>
<span>reading skills. I contrast those 7 minutes with PDP conference calls</span><br>
<span>that go for 90 minutes week after week after week for 3 years. A claim</span><br>
<span>that those 7 minutes of reading time would make it an "extremely long</span><br>
<span>message" doesn't seem correct to me.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>But, let me try to make it easy......just respond to these specific questions:</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>1. The October 12, 2017 "Options Document" (edited to remove that</span><br>
<span>"error" above) is at:</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span><a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoicrpmpdp/WEBINAR+2017-10-12+IGO-INGO+Access+to+Curative+Rights+Protection+Mechanisms">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoicrpmpdp/WEBINAR+2017-10-12+IGO-INGO+Access+to+Curative+Rights+Protection+Mechanisms</a></span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>The very first paragraph claims that:</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>" Other options that were discussed previously by the Working Group</span><br>
<span>have not been included in this proposal based on the co-chairs’</span><br>
<span>assessment either that their essential elements have been adapted and</span><br>
<span>incorporated into Options A, B, and/or C (below), or that they were</span><br>
<span>based on an incomplete reading of the applicable rules (i.e. the</span><br>
<span>previous Option 5)."</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Where is Option 6 adapted and incorporated into Option C? Here's a</span><br>
<span>reminder of what Option 6 was:</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span><a href="http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-igo-ingo-crp/2017-July/000811.html">http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-igo-ingo-crp/2017-July/000811.html</a></span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>I assert that the options document mislead the working group by</span><br>
<span>falsely stating that Option 6 was adapted and incorporated into the</span><br>
<span>Option C. Yes or no? If Option 6 was adapted and incorporated into</span><br>
<span>Option C, show us where it is in that document.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>[while I acknowledge I've been invited to resubmit Option 6 again to</span><br>
<span>this PDP, I want you to acknowledge that the edited October 12, 2017</span><br>
<span>document makes that false claim above, and thus mislead the working</span><br>
<span>group]</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>2. There is a long preface (the entire first page of that October 12th</span><br>
<span>document, and the first paragraph of the 2nd page) criticizing Options</span><br>
<span>A and B. Show me just a single statement that is negative towards</span><br>
<span>Option C in that document that was prepared as "co-chairs" (not as</span><br>
<span>individual members with a viewpoint). If you can't identify a single</span><br>
<span>negative statement towards Option C, how is that not a biased</span><br>
<span>document, and a misuse of the positions as co-chairs?</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>I think those are enough, for now. I wouldn't want to make this email</span><br>
<span>"too long" (under 700 words, so that's less than 3 minutes reading</span><br>
<span>time for an average adult). The answers should be illuminating to this</span><br>
<span>group.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Sincerely,</span><br>
<span></span><br>
