Marc,

I share everyone's comment and ask that you do not leave the group. You have much experience to share.  I believe if you filled out your COI statement correctly that is all that is needed to be transparent.  If everyone left the group over a perceived or possible future conflict of interest there would be very few people left. So please stay and contribute

Best,

Judith

Hi all,

After reading the Board reply with respect to 'Conflict Of Interest', it is getting obvious that the Board does not encourage that ccWG-members would also nominate for receiving/dispersing auction-funds later-on.

I have to respect that, and therefor have decided to leave the ccWG per today.

Note that NLnet Foundation over the last 20 years has been very active in dispersing our own charity-fund to hundreds of Internet projects, the last years primarily on open source and cybersecurity.

It was our intention to share our 'Internet-charity-experience' with this team DURING the ccWG, AND to provide support with dispersing parts of the auction-funds to the right non-profit cybersecurity projects AFTER the ccWG.

Now that it retrospectively turns out that the first support may exclude us from the second support, we have no choice than to leave the ccWG, since potentially receiving a (modest) part of the ICANN funds is crucial for our NLnet-battle against exponentially growing cybersecurity threats.

Many thanks for working together with you, and all the best with the remaining work in the ccWG !

Kind regards,
Marc

Dear All -

We will have a first exchange on Thursday this week, during our CCWG AP call. I send Steve already a quick reply, saying that we will discuss the Board letter then for the first time.

Best,
