<p dir="ltr">This is an interesting situation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">First of all most organisations place a statement along with the link about wanting to unsubscribe from a mailing list, but ICANN expects people to just know how to do this?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Secondly, the unsubscribe requests are coming at a time when we are discussing member engagement with ICANN and people are starting to hear about the issues. It is strange that when individual members could be having a say about an important issue that actually involves them, rather than having their say, their preferred response is to unsubscribe? ITEMS must have got that wrong somehow (funny that!)</p>
<p dir="ltr">And finally, why does the whole of At-Large get the unsubscribe request? It could start an avalanche of requests now that they are better informed of the process. :) And are staff keeping analytics on these unsubscribers? The latest one was from the UN (?)<br>

none channeled to specific interests or needs. This decades-old
"system" of collaboration and information flow is one of the great
failures of ICANN to engage with the community. Why would anyone
want to stay engaged? <br>
