[Arsene TUNGALI (Yahoo)]

 blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important;  padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; }  Dear Padmini,
I was in the room during the last Public Forum and i have to commend your courage willing to publicly adress such an important and at the same time a very sensitive issue.
I really hope something is done and on time as promised by the Board. 
Thanks for speaking for all those who have found themselves in such situations. this usually happen in international conferences such as icann where you have people from different cultures.
I think this is a sensitive issue because 'sexual harrassement' can be defined in number of ways and most of times perceived differently. What some cultures would consider 'just fine', others will take it as a very big offense to their personality.
I didn't know you were part of this group as i wanted to thank you for speaking up on site but didn't have a chance.
Regards,A

Dear all
PFA my public statement in this respect. It is a repeated plea to the Board of ICANN as well as the Community to clarify the timeline as to the development of the sexual harassment policy in this regard, as well as to reaffirm a commitment towards the development of strong, continued gender sensitisation.
