[governance] Mercenaries on the list

[Rui Correia]

Hi

Please do not confuse current criteria for membership of anything with
the possibility of being a mercenary - so, therefore, whatever I have
said on this or similar subjects has NOTHING to do with membership of
MAG!

NO, I would NOT support "the notion that people can't be excluded
because of their employer". I FULLY support questioning the
credentials of some of those who would like to pose as representing
"us". Especially those sympathetic of ICANN. I have no problem putting
my name behind the likes of APC, CIVICUS, Third Sector (Brazil), etc,
or similar.

Best regrards,

Rui
