[council] RE: ICANN Election 3
As many
of you know, I could not be on the conference call part of last Friday's voting.
Notes sent to the Council list during and subsequent to the technical
issue of the Election 3 voting events were clear that there was serious
discussion on how to move forward and address the problems that arose in the
earlier rounds for Election 3. Travelling during the time after Friday's events
prevented me from being on mail regularly -- but at this point it was already
clear that we'd resume Monday and await a note on how to
proceed.
So, I
have to admit I was somewhat surprised to see the forwarded note below, and
gather this was something NC members agreed to during some of the discussions on
Friday's call.
I just
want to say that I find forwarding this kind of information during an election
to a large constituency list unacceptable -- we all know that distributing to
any large lists has the objective to reach a large group of members -- the
assumption is usually that the information on the lists is not limited to the
list unless specified -- remember we're trying to encourage participation,
outreach, and joining in the process with the member lists. Discussing
with other NC representatives, or outreach for guidance, is not the same as just
sending out information -- if there is sensitive information that needs to be
provided, and it was agreed that it needs to be provided, then it should include
a clear statement that it is not to be circulated further outside of the
constituency.
This is
not an issue of controlling information, or not wanting to share information --
it is an issue of being careful how sensitive information is handled and
upholding our responsibilities -- in this particular
case the issue is addressing and resolving the problem correctly in order to
proceed with fair elections. I would just ask that as the NC we remember our
duty of care in our work and responsibilities.
