I understand that Bret has pulled one of the recordings because of legal <br>
concerns raised by a person or persons on the second call.<br>
<br>
Which is unfortunate - ICANN has a mandate <st1:PersonName w:st="on">to</st1:PersonName>
conduct itself in a <br>
transparent manner, my expectation has always been that these calls are <br>
a part of the public record.<br>
