sure if any of the facts

its statement very well. BTW, the Ombudsman's reference was <span> </span>specific

arguments DCA got with Mike Silber and that was placed in public domain
and not the no campaigns as you would like it to be. I suppose you were

<div style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span>The point is that Mike is on the
Board Director of ZADNA who also endorsed UNIFORUM application and
for him not to recuse himself on .africa and think he is not conflicted is not
appropriate.
Just because the ICANN Ombudsman exonerated them
does not mean DCA is wrong or does not have a legitimate complaint. That
would be a wrong calculation. </span></font></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span>I recall in ICANN Prague in one of
the meetings that discussed COI, Chris Disppain got up in front of every
body and said the unbelievable " Yes I am conflicted and so
what, what are you going to do about it". It simply means the COIs
are not being taken seriously at ICANN especially at the Board level period.
However the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Ombudsman </span>has recommended for it to be taken seriously in the future,
that is why I said the matter we brought to the Ombudsman is
still unsettled for DCA. </span></font></span></div>

One can google "say No dotconnect africa" for more examples.<br>
<br>
<br>
Which is why the Ombudsman suggested you take it down a notch (or<br>
two), which is what I have been saying for a long time.<br>
