Vivek,
There is nothing transparent about Panel members receiving offlist replies.
What is transparent is replies posted to a list that is publicly archived,
which Joop is refusing to set up, because he would rather receive payment
for his Polling Booth instead, which he personally owns, hence he is making
it as difficult as possible to conduct this ballot another way.

Refusing to release the membership list is all part of the same problem,
because it means a separate list to receive the ballot papers cannot be set
up independently without his prior agreement and to go further, he is
refusing to accept the authority of the Panel, not least by insisting the
ICANNAtLarge.com domain remains on the ballot paper.

Now what I want to know is why you would defend a webmaster who is holding
this organization to ransom while insulting the Chair who is fighting to get
this cancer cut out.

I believe very strongly that nobody is indispensable to this organization,
so any member who attempts to claim control over one aspect or another, as
the webmaster is now doing, is not going to be my best friend. Sorry, but
I'm not here for a popularity contest. I am upholding the principals in
which I believe and if you and the rest of the panel do not support me on
issues such as this one, you can have my resignation, because unlike Joop, I
am happy to be replaceable.

Regards,
Joanna
