[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] resigning from the PDP

[Brian Winterfeldt]

All the best Stephanie -- the time and effort you’ve put in was deeply appreciated by many in the community.

I would, however, like to caution this group not to question the legitimacy of the Policy Development Process because of the departure of one member.

Thank you,

Brian

Thank you so much for your contributions to this Working Group, Stephanie. I have learned so much from your comments on our calls and mailing list, and have appreciated your many helpful, public interested-orientated interventions over the past two years. Unfortunately this Working Group is progressing at a glacial pace and is a perfect example of how policy at ICANN can be set by exhaustion. To be clear, there is no implied criticism here of the leadership team or of anyone else, however in the absence of a strong privacy advocate and the declining presence of civil society in these deliberations, because it is impossible to allocate resources to participate in this Working Group given how little progress we seem to be making, I do not believe the recommendations ultimately delivered by this Working Group will hold any long-term legitimacy.

After much thought, I have decided to resign from this PDP.  I wish you all the very best, and I am certain that the work will speed up considerably without my frequent interventions:-)  I believe this process is fundamentally flawed and does not reflect well on the MS model, so I am afraid that I can no longer, in all conscience, continue to participate.

Best wishes

Stephanie Perrin
