Subject: Response to Karl Auerbach's note
The postings from Karl Auerbach to your lists regarding access to records
were forwarded to me. I thought each of you might be interested in my
response below. Feel free to post or not, of course, as you see fit.
Many thanks
Stuart

Karl is free to examine ICANN records any time he is ready to comply with
established procedures that apply to him and any other Director -- in
complete accordance with California law. Karl is not being singled out.
Among other reasonable provisions, these procedures are designed to protect
confidential records, such as personnel files. Karl wishes to set himself
above the direct or delegated authority of the ICANN Board of Directors,
in declaring himself as the sole determinant of what is confidential and
what is not. That is not his prerogative according to California law or
ICANN bylaws.
The procedures to which he objects were endorsed by the Audit Committee of
the ICANN Board, to whom the Board has delegated responsibility for this
general area. He is always welcome to take his objections to the full Board
should he wish. So far, he has not chosen to do so.
