Thank you for launching the discussion. I would not go as far as saying
that the team is getting into a mess. There are just two points of view
around one subject which has not been resolved - the subject of
"conflict of interest" - what additional restrictions, if any, should
the At Large ICANN Board applicants abide by prior to even applying.

The discussion, which is not confidential in the interest of
transparency, can be found on:

Clearly, Patrick and I would appreciate EURALO input. An endorsement
from EURALO will lend some weight to our points of view - if this is
indeed something EURALO members can agree on.

Kindest regards,

Olivier
