[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] resigning from the PDP

[Ayden Férdeline]

Thank you so much for your contributions to this Working Group, Stephanie. I have learned so much from your comments on our calls and mailing list, and have appreciated your many helpful, public interested-orientated interventions over the past two years. Unfortunately this Working Group is progressing at a glacial pace and is a perfect example of how policy at ICANN can be set by exhaustion. To be clear, there is no implied criticism here of the leadership team or of anyone else, however in the absence of a strong privacy advocate and the declining presence of civil society in these deliberations, because it is impossible to allocate resources to participate in this Working Group given how little progress we seem to be making, I do not believe the recommendations ultimately delivered by this Working Group will hold any long-term legitimacy.

I wish you all the very best, and I am certain that the work will speed up considerably without my frequent interventions:-)  I believe this process is fundamentally flawed and does not reflect well on the MS model, so I am afraid that I can no longer, in all conscience, continue to participate.
