[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] ICANN Ombudsman: RDS Leadership Team and RDS Participants

[Herb Waye]

Hello Chuck,

Thank you for accepting my request to join the GNSO RDS PDP WG email list.

As I have discussed with you and your leadership team, I will be reviewing the WG archives over the next couple of days before addressing a more fulsome email to all participants.

As mentioned I have received multiple complaints regarding behavior that contravenes the ICANN Expected Standards of Behavior and possibly the Community Anti-Harassment Policy, specifically in this working group.

The community is aware respect is high on my list of priorities and I consider it an important value that allows constructive debate.

I would like to inform the participants that I am now receiving all emails posted to the list and will discuss my findings with the group in an email before ICANN59.

Best regards,

Respectfully, Herb
