This would be far clearer if the requested documents were listed, if the
document to be signed was produced and if the dates of the requests and
responses were provided. Also if we known who else among the Directors has
taken the oath that Karl describes as removing every legal right granted to
Directors by the US and Calfornian law - and for the time being Stuart has
not quoted a text which should be maintained online as a major document
conditionning the management of the ICANN and the protection of several,
says Stuart. This might explain why the BoD is acting as it does, either by
non disclosure obligation like Amadeu in the .aero case, either by
volontary ignorance not to abandon rights or by forced ignorance as Karl
claims it in his personal case.
I note that that the comment of Stuart about the way Karl should address
that problem seems arrogant to me and to publicly document the hurting
attitude that Karl describes from the Staff. Am I wright or is that kind of
attitude from Stuart acceptable in the US legal environement and in that
situation were Suart is also a fellow Director?

PS. This kind of situation is obviously a matter for the ICANN User
Association I proposed.
