<div dir="ltr">Dear all, <div><br></div><div>Thanks for the clarification. <br><br> My only suggestion would be for us to separate issues like politics or war/conflicts going on in the world from other topics that might be related to discussions being promoted at icann like a more sustainable approach to travel or the virtual x in person and so on. <br><br></div><div>And in the latter it might be relevant to ask members whether they would like to develop a position on it since these topics might pick up in upcoming debates at ICANN. </div><div><br></div><div>Kind Regards,</div><div>Bruna</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 1, 2023 at 12:03 PM Johan Helsingius <<a href="mailto:julf@julf.com">julf@julf.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">After some discussions during ICANN78, we would like to remind<br>
that while NCSG has clear positions on many issues, there are<br>
others, such as the Israel/Hamas conflict, sustainability and<br>
virtual versus face to face meeting policy as well as sanctions,<br>
where not only there is no official NCSG position, but our members<br>
have strong opposing opinions. With some of these issues we should<br>
probably develop official positions, while others might be outside<br>
or remits, and some are such that it might be impossible to arrive<br>
at a common position.<br>
<br>
Wile we are of course encouraging everyone to feel free to express<br>
and support any position they want, we would like to ask you to<br>
make it totally clear that you are speaking in personal capacity<br>
and that your view in no way constitutes an official NCSG/NPOC/NCUC<br>
position.<br>
