Hi Renata,

I just finished the Council extraordinary call and it is already 23:00 but
I felt the need to respond here as you are making dangerous statements.

I may understand that you feel attacked and questioned but anyone in a
leadership position can tell you that they have faced that in time and has
to deal with it. We all faced that at some time during our terms. is it
pleasant? of course not but as leaders, we got to respond calmly and
explain our reasons. we may be right or wrong but at the end, that doesn't
matter, but we owe responses to our members as part of accountability and
being responsible. I have no position on the issue faced by the EC to be
shared on the list and only wish them good luck and I am pretty sure of
theirs genuine reasons.

You are bringing NCSG PC to this issue which is unfair and without any
valid reason. As I am the NCSG Policy Committee chair, I am trying to
understand what you mean by bullies there and take responsibility if there
is any problem. If someone has an issue or complaint, he or she can report
that to NCSG chair and/or to me when needed and they can be ensured that
their inquiry will be taken into account and seriously investigated. I
don't think going through 3rd party is the right way to do so. Some
discussion can be tense but I don't recall anyone dismissed, attacked or
pushed. people can check the PC list as all our deliberations are there or
check the recordings of NCSG policy call as we discuss policy matters
there.

to be honest what you are saying is definitely an attack and unfortunately
trying to deflect an issue you have on another group. That is really
inappropriate and not helpful.

Best,

Rafik
