<p dir="ltr">Dear All,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I followed this discussion since last year when it started and I hope no one has nothing personnal against Peter. To me it is very clear there is no evidence that Peter did something "legally" wrong. In a certain point of view, let's say according to some principles, he could be incoherent, however; principles are what they are : not everybody has same principles and what seems obvious for one group of folks may not be so for others.<br>
If we awant to put new rules/principles on the NCUC table, let's just follow procedures and update our bylaws. It would prevent us from many philosophical discussions. Therefore, let's save time and love forward.<br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">Best Regards<br>

<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Grande",serif;color:black">Hi Peter,
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Grande",serif;color:black">I do think part of the problem here is that perhaps we were not getting communication from you at the correct time. Now you seem to be very motivated to communicate, which is great.
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Grande",serif;color:black">I made the remark about you working at the CONAC booth because I met you in the hall in the building where the meetings where held, and you came up to me and apologized for missing
one of our meetings (either the NCSG one or the NCUC one, I cannot remember) because you were working with your colleagues and could not get away. Then you returned to the CONAC booth. Was I incorrect in assuming that your day job was interrupting your volunteer
activities at NCUC? If so, please tell me, I am happy to be corrected.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Grande",serif;color:black">I did not interrogate you at the time on it, and I am not going to do it now. The question is a simple one, when you attend ICANN meetings, are you working for CONAC? Are you
on salary? On what basis are you participating at ICANN? are you on a leave of absence, is this considered professional development for your work etc.? This whole episode in my view reinforces a point I have been attempting to raise for years at ICANN:
we need more transparency about what our members are doing at ICANN. Who do they purport to represent, who are they actually working for? No, this does not mean that consultants have to release their client lists, the commercial sector seem to manage this
quite well and we need to do the same.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Grande",serif;color:black">As an example, when I started at ICANN in the EWG, I was still working for the Canadian government. I took personal leave for every day that I worked at ICANN meetings. That soon
added up to weeks of leave spent at ICANN meetings. I had to file a fairly detailed conflict of interest statement, and I never represented the views of the government. If you are on salary for an organization (a company, a government, etc) I think some
kind of explanation as to how you are not representing that organization in your ICANN activities is required. However, I understand that my views are at the extreme end of some of the views held by our constituents.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Grande",serif;color:black">In the meantime, I think it is a great pity that this is really the first communication I have had from you in at least a year. We were supposed to be working on the RDS, and I
looked forward to helping you understand the EWG report more fully. I remain happy to do that. Let us get on with the work here, folks.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

to take this case to the ICANN Ombudsman and I made it very clear that before the Ombudsman’s decision, I would not take any action, hence long time silence (please see the attached Email 2).</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I could not understand how the former EC had ever come to the conclusion that I was not eligible to be
an NCUC member. I joined in NCSG/NCUC in March, 2013 as an individual member with registered domain names (one of them was expired, currently holding an IDN domain name</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:SimSun;color:black">钻</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">.</span><span style="font-family:"MS Gothic";color:black">我</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:SimSun;color:black">爱</span><span style="font-family:"MS Gothic";color:black">你</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">,
xn--h84a.xn--6qq986b3xl)for non-commercial self-use in accordance with NCSG Charter and NCUC Bylaws. I could not see how I am not eligible to be an individual member of NCUC. However, the former EC claimed that I am a member of RySG. For your information,
RySG only consists of organizational members—registries. My organization CONAC is a member of RySG and two colleagues of mine are serving as representatives of CONAC in RySG. I was not listed as a representative of CONAC in RySG at that time. The only fact
is I am staff of CONAC. Does the fact that I am staff of CONAC and CONAC is a member of RySG mean that I am a member of RySG? That’s clearly not the case in accordance with the RySG Charter. If it is not that case, I could not see why the former EC came to
such a conclusion according to the NCUC Bylaws, if not with a preconceived notion that staff of a registry could be not individual members of NCUC, however, the NCUC Bylaws does not say so.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">On the other hand, in the Statement the former EC also mentioned that “[the former EC’s] request for
Peter to resign from the EC was not caused by any misconduct or poor performance on his part”, “[the former EC’s] main concern has always been the integrity of the NCUC”, “[t]his is designed to prevent commercial or contracted parties from attempting to control
or influence [NCUC] Constituency”. I do agree with maintaining the integrity of NCUC. If the former EC’s decision to remove me was not due to my misconduct rather due to my relationship with CONAC and CONAC’s relationship with RySG, there are two other facts
that deserve attention. Rafik now works for NTT Communications, a business company in Japan and Farzaneh is serving as a member on the Advisory Council of .org registry—PIR—a registry. According to the circumstances of my case, in order to preserve the integrity
of NCUC and prevent commercial or contracted parties from controlling NCUC, does it mean that the NCUC EC should consider removing them from office due to their relationship either with a business company or with a registry, both of which are not committed
to non-commercial interests.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">It should be noted that the CURRENT EFFECTIVE NCUC Bylaws does not encompass terms or articles regarding
removing an incumbent EC member, as it was mentioned in the former EC’s Statement that “there was no precedent in NCUC’s history for the EC to draw upon”. Therefore, the former EC’s action to remove me from office was not on basis of the NCUC Bylaws. There
is a gap in the NCUC Bylaws.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">It is just owing to my case that NCUC found there is gap hence necessity to include removing an incumbent
EC member in the revised NCUC Bylaws, see email on 14<sup>th</sup>, October, 2016 at <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__lists.ncuc.org_pipermail_ncuc-2Ddiscuss_2016-2DOctober_019237.html&d=DwMGaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=kIm7BGIl3qR3NKOfU-SwstwQr15K9OhllVGUWu0k8uc&m=kfPRSa6Hq7XVjsBTD1dYGMxfK7l5VIP7CJMsnltDDZw&s=9ClgqJhulZz6yY_JHgaWzghAeK0GuQZ9nwJwIfi4OKY&e=" target="_blank">http://lists.ncuc.org/<wbr>pipermail/ncuc-discuss/2016-<wbr>October/019237.html[lists.<wbr>ncuc.org]</a>,
however, in his comment on the former EC’s Statement, Professor Milton Mueller claimed that “[t]he approval of the new bylaws validates the actions of the EC by making it unambiguous that the NCUC has the right to remove from office people who are not eligible.”
Would you mind differentiating the relationship between cause and effect? Which is first? My case was before the former EC’s intention to include terms of removing an incumbent EC member in the new NCUC Bylaws. Professor Milton is talking about the effect
of the approval of the revised Bylaws. It seems Professor is talking about the other side of the coin. Unfortunately, two sides of a coin never meet each other. I hope any effective discussion should be on the same side of the coin.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

any EC meetings or records? I was removed only due to email exchanges between members of the former EC, without documentation. Weren’t there transparency issues? In this sense, it seemed that I was removed in a non-transparent way with non-legitimate EC authority
