> It was, as always (thanks a lot to ICANN and Sebastien Bachollet) a
> friendly, constructive, useful readout.
> But there was an incident: in the comments in the chat (publicly) I
> received abuse from one of our members.
>
> Yesterday I received questions and calls from some (many) of you and ICANN
> community members.
> That is why I am using this opportunity to write to you now not just as a

> abstract from personalities and look at the (not the first one) incidents
> that happening inside of EURALO and possible consequences.
> I would like to share my thoughts and put some rhetorical questions:
>
> 1. Our communication with the outside world is our face, inner state,
> beauty or ugliness of our soul, our level of professionalism. The ability
> to maintain political correctness and avoid becoming personal and abusing
> is a skill and talent that we all can aspire to. At least to try.
>
> 2. The mission, goals and objectives of the At-Large community and
> operational rules provide the information about some kind of obligations.
> Unfortunately, work is not a goal for everyone here. Some are trying to
> earn PR and political points for themselves on the wave of acute topics and
> through personal attacks and abuse. These actions haven`t common goals with
> the working needs and our tasks.
> Time to time it has been happening since about 2013. But the experienced
> EURALO members and the reports of the Ombudsman will say more exactly, I
> may be mistaken. Names of participants are almost the same.
>
> 3. We all should  follow the ICANN rules of behavior. But for someone
> these rules do mean nothing.
> Why? Are we not all equal? How long can someone be a source of constant
> conflict?
>
> 4. ICANN and At-Large spend significant resources (money, time, efforts)
> on the Mobilization, on Outreach and Engagement activities, the opportunity
> to establish local connections in the regions, attract more interested
> participants (ALSs and individuals), highlight the friendly atmosphere,
> neutrality and focus on the ICANN issues. The precedents of yesterday (and
> similar  with the same participants) negates our efforts.
> I received a lot of questions from people yesterday – what is again going
> on and why is this acceptable?
> These are people who look at At-large, EURALO and at the opportunity to
> join. I hope that we have a future in this direction, but two phrases in
> chat can destroy the bridges we try to build.
>
> 5. We are here with the aim to be useful. What is behind the people who
> spread intrigues and scandals - only intrigues and scandals or real
> efficiency for At-Large?
>
> 6. Again: Nationalism, extremism are unacceptable things.The history of
> these personal attacks on me has a reason - I am Russian. I live in Russia.
>
> These thoughts above relate not such cases only, more - the present and
> future of our community (EURALO and At-Large), our ability and desire to
> communicate, work, grow and develop together, to accept new active
> participants of the ICANN PDP, to meet Youth here.
> We should not scare people, sow the conflicts, crumble ourselves into
> molecules, subgroups and parties, can`t indulging aggressive people to play
> their games using our public events, involving the names of At-Large
> members, ICANN staff in personal fights and ruining the reputation of
> EURALO.
>
> Thank you for reading this long text. Maybe we can find the answers
> together and ways to fix gaps.
> Yesterday I received a huge support from our community members.
>
> Thank you very much my dear friends. Being here, to work and communicate
> with you is a real privilege and joy for me.
