<div>I have serious and legitimate concerns around how this Executive Committee is operating. I have reason to believe our Operating Procedures are not being adhered to, and decisions are being made in secret Skype channels and away from public scrutiny. This is not acceptable, and just because you are not responding does not mean I will stop asking questions. I hold our leadership to the same standard I hold other parts of the ICANN community.<br></div><div><br></div><div>—Ayden <br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐<br></div><div> On 8 June 2018 7:36 PM, James Gannon <james@cyberinvasion.net> wrote:<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="protonmail_quote" type="cite"><div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I would also like an answer to this for the record.</span><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"> </span><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">-James</span><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"> </span><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> Ncuc-discuss <ncuc-discuss-bounces@lists.ncuc.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Ayden Férdeline<br> <b>Sent:</b> 07 June 2018 22:38<br> <b>To:</b> Kathy Kleiman <kathy@kathykleiman.com><br> <b>Cc:</b> ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org<br> <b>Subject:</b> Re: [NCUC-DISCUSS] IGF 2018 Workshop Proposal Submitted</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <br></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">I think it is extremely important to get an answer from the NCUC Chair to the question that I asked, which speaks to how our Executive Committee is operating and making decisions that impact our members and the interests whom we represent. <br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Ayden <br></p></div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <br></p></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐<br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On 7 June 2018 9:38 PM, Kathy Kleiman <<a href="mailto:kathy@kathykleiman.com">kathy@kathykleiman.com</a>> wrote:<br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <br></p></div><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><div><p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I'm on two different ICANN lists right now where there is a lot of email about bad feeling.<br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <br></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">IMHO, this is not good for Working Groups or Stakeholder Groups.

Please refer to our new bylaws in case of any questions. NCUC does have a Skype channel and it's called NCUC 2018 - General Chat. Those willing to join, please email <a href="mailto:chair@ncuc.org">chair@ncuc.org</a> w/ your ID And it is as it's called - a chat channel, not a deliberation one. Unfortunately Skype is not a very effective tool. I find that other apps are better for chat nowadays. IG Hub channel is one I'd
recommend. Chat is different from secret deliberation channel. EC does chat with each other too but again, Skype is so old. On Thu, Jun 7, 2018 at 3:13 PM, Ayden Férdeline wrote: > Hi Renata, > > Are there any "unofficial" deliberation channels that the NCUC
