[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Invitation to a call with the IGO-INGO Curative Rights Working Group co-chairs

Fri Jan 12 17:52:36 UTC 2018

Hi folks,

(1) The correct link is:
https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoicrpmpdp/2018-01-11+IGO-INGO+Access+to+Curative+Rights+Protection+Mechanisms+Working+Group
 (as I noted earlier)

(2) Phil's narrative is, as has often been the case in this PDP,
incorrect. As a courtesy (I did not have to send it at all), I sent a
PDF containing the exact remarks I was going to make at the start of
the call (I was scheduled to go first), so folks could follow along as
I made my oral presentation. It's nicely formatted, and has all the
links provided, and thus one need not have to rely on an imperfect
transcript later on. It would have taken approximately 12 minutes for
me to have gone through it orally (a minute per page). Most of the
material is not new, and was taken directly from the mailing list
archives.

Phil pretends that he was somehow *disadvantaged* by having a complete
and accurate copy of my oral presentation. He was not disadvantaged at
all --- I could have and would have simply presented orally exactly
what was in that document, had I not been interrupted.

>From my perspective, it seems that Phil came completely unprepared to
the meeting, saw that our side was fully prepared, and wanted to stall
the process and buy time, so that they could get their act together.
They underestimated the quality of our appeal, and wanted to retreat
to reorganize. He wanted to sabotage the call, to penalize our side
for being diligent and prepared.

Recall, I was prepared to discuss this in December, but their side
controlled the process and timing. I was prepared to discuss it on
January 4, 2018 (last week), but again, they controlled the process.

I encourage everyone to actually go through the recording, and see
exactly who was being reasonable. Phil would not even agree to
withdraw the one-sided letter that they sent to GNSO Council (on
December 21, 2017, AFTER the appeal), or in the alternative ask that
it not be acted upon, to help ensure that their delaying tactics could
not become a manipulation of the process that would work to their
advantage. They never gave anyone notice of their December 21, 2017
letter to GNSO council either, or provided any opportunity to anyone
to respond to it to counterbalance its contents.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos

I expected this request to be noncontroversial but it proved otherwise.
