[governance] Fwd: [gnso-dow123] Note from Paul Twomey regarding WHOIS clause in the Affirmation of Responsibilities Re

[Danny Younger]

Veni,

I hit the Reply All button when I responded to your
email.  If you didn't want the conversation directed
to NCUC-DISCUSS then you shouldn't have included their
address.

... and thanks once again for dodging all the
questions.  Your contribution to enhanced transparency
is noted.  

"ICANN will innovate and aspire to be a leader in the
area of transparency for organizations involved in
private sector management." -- Affirmation of
Responsibilities Point #2.

regards,
Danny
