[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] UN letter to ICANN Board re: IGO PDP

[Paul Tattersfield]

Dear Zac,

Thank you for posting this letter.

I’m not sure if you are aware but I understand Stephen Mathias was
appointed to his post of Assistant Secretary General for Legal Affairs by
his Excellency Ban Ki-moon in 2010 so it is very likely, if he did not
author the letter ** on behalf of his Excellency it would have at least
crossed his desk which is quite troubling in light of the exceptionally
weak evidence submitted to our working group to substantiate the IGOs’
wishes.

It is also interesting to note from your letter that the co-chairs did not
enjoy any support for their position from other members of their own
constituencies rather other members of the IPC, Business Constituency (BC)
and the Registry Stakeholder Group (RySG) all supported the working group’s
consensus positions.

(Phillip’s SOI here shows BC whereas his SOI in the RPM group shows RySG.)

It therefore very disappointing to see the co-chairs repeatedly failed to
recognise this overwhelming cross-constituency consensus, had they done so
earlier in the process as it could have saved everyone a great deal of time.

Yours sincerely,


Paul.
