Hi Seun
I had a conversation with Dev after the meeting and I clarified that the
ICANN ATLARGE Pool or group should be Creative Commons and not the
ICANN site- respecting their photographers rights. My request was an
explanation by staff why they elected to have the All Rights Reserved.
It speaks volumes that they try to rationalize their position.
Secondly, I can prove with over 2.5 million views that my approach has
more results. My pictures focuses on our community vs many of their
pictures are of a group and devoid of any individuals . No respect for
the individual .
