Mr. Hemp, I see no reason to disparage any member on this list or to impugn their motives – you have done that to two people in one email, and that deserves an apology. Everyone who has participated in the UASG, especially those in leadership positions, have made significant contributions, both in their time and effort, and in many cases, their employer has underwritten their ability to contribute. You are welcome to vote any way you prefer, but I urge you to refrain from impugning members. Please review the code of conduct for participation. -Ram Chair, UASG *From:* Mike Hemp <mikehamp1971@mail.com> *Sent:* Wednesday, February 20, 2019 8:41 PM *To:* Richard Merdinger <rmerdinger@godaddy.com> *Cc:* ua-discuss@icann.org *Subject:* Re: [UA-discuss] Call for Nominations Hello Richard, Great Recommendation to have Dennis as Vice Chair. But Why you should accept your nomination as Chair. I believe that You would gracefully reject nomination for yourself for the following reasons. 1. Recommendation by your existing friends specailly from Edmon (He is part of UASG secretrait) is bad. Huge conflict of Interest. 2. You and your company has no interest in IDN and EAI. 3. No contribution by you in Eco System for IDN and EAI. Corrent me if I am wrong. Surely you were team member of UASG as founder member and served for 4 years. New energy should flow into UASG. In previous ICANN you have that shared in our discussion, you are trying but your comapny do not see opportunity in this area. We shall nominate persons from China or India. That will be appropriate and in the best interest of the UASG.
