[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] ICANN Ombudsman

[Herb Waye]

Good morning from Johannesburg,

For those of you who have already arrived for ICANN59, welcome. For those travelling, safe travels. And for those not coming, I hope you enjoyed waking up in your own bed today.

I have had the opportunity since my last email to the group to review the email list archives and discuss the work environment with many of you. I hope to continue this discussion in person over the coming week in Johannesburg.

I will also attend as many of the working group’s functions as possible during ICANN59 to make myself available to everyone. I look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions.

As I mentioned on your last Adobe call, I am focusing on solutions for the future and not incidents of the past and count on the group’s support to do the same moving forward. Respect and civility is something everyone should expect to benefit from in the ICANN community, it is also something each of us should be demonstrating as we interact. By focusing on the problem and not the people we can make the environment and culture constructive and safe for all.

My office will be on the 4th floor of the convention center, please drop in for a visit.

Respectfully, Herb


Herb Waye
