[CCWG-ACCT] Communique - revised - any feedback by midnight Argentina time

[McAuley, David]

Leon and Malcolm have well and correctly stated that deliberation took place. 

In my opinion, periodic but regular rudeness to those involved in this process is senseless. Especially as to our chairs and rapporteurs - who have been exemplary leaders.

Dear Dr Lisse,

I am getting quite tired of the repeated disrespect you are showing to our colleagues, and your unfair attempts to impugne their integrity.

The communique was proposed to the meeting and read out. Participants were invited to comment; there being no substantive comments, the communique was accepted. I don't know what more deliberation you could want. The handling was entirely proper and normal.

Your attacks on León are without a shred of justification, as were your previous attacks on our co-chairs. He deserves your apology, as do they; if you choose to withhold it, that reflects upon you, not on them.

Perhaps you might wish to reflect on how counter-productive your approach is to any effort to persuade colleagues to give their attention to your interventions, and the disservice you are doing your own cause thereby.

I am a proud proponent of the multistakeholder model. Many on this list are new to this model, and unused to the opportunity openness to all does give to those who wish to be rude and disruptive. I am embarrassed to think how they must feel when they see this spat, and the other occasions you have mistreated colleagues here.

I can only hope that our new colleagues can look past the behaviour of one individual and recognise the deep well of cooperation and goodwill that characterises the rest of our work. I hope they can still find it in themselves to agree with me that the great achievement of building a broad base of consensus in such a challenging area is worth even the inconvenience of suffering such rudeness.

I am sorry I have had to be so blunt, but remaining silent felt too much like complicity in an injustice.

Sincerely,

Malcolm Hutty.
