<br>
Your spin machine (including the domainnnewsafrica team) are really incredible:<br>
<br>
 “ we are indeed troubled by the fact that Mr. Mike Silber would use<br>
his presence on the ICANN Board of Directors to act deliberately as to<br>
pose an unwarranted risk to DCA’s application whilst trying to take<br>
decisions that would have a favorable outcome for the competing<br>
application submitted by UniForum.”<br>
<br>
Again this quote is stating a &quot;fact&quot; that is not in evidence, in other<br>
words it&#39;s a figment of someone&#39;s imagination.<br>
<br>
This blogger is deeply clueless when he says:<br>
<br>
&quot;So one then would wonder what is the interest of Silber to now want<br>
to serve on a committee that decides on New gTLDs?&quot;<br>
<br>
Well, if I were an ICANN Board Member and I wasn&#39;t happy that a<br>
program went ahead when I didn&#39;t think it was ready, I would surely<br>
volunteer to sit on the committee that oversaw it&#39;s implementation, so<br>
that I could make sure it was implemented in the best way possible!<br>
<br>
You can spin this story as much as you like, but those of us who don&#39;t<br>
work for either side can easily see where the truth lies.<br>
<br>
If you could point to one example where the Uniforum folks have been<br>
disrespectful, I would very much like to see that!<br>

All in all, I believe that &quot;It is easier to be simple&quot; since the Truth can<br>
not be fabricated.<br>
<br>
Declaration of no COI is the best way for anyone in a respected authority<br>
such as ICANN. To me, what is going on is the best way forward.<br>
<br>
Why don&#39;t we Africans do that - to start with, I have declared my support<br>
to the Principle behind DCA long ago before the .africa gTLD saga was<br>
fabricated to become a &#39;talk of the town&#39;. That is clear and will not<br>
change unless the &#39;principle&#39; behind it is changed from what it has been<br>
during the past years.<br>
<br>
The DCA Trust is not only for .africa gTLD Application as it seems to be<br>
deemed -  there have been other  undertakings by DCA that are being<br>
overlooked.<br>
<br>
Well done one and all<br>

All in all, I believe that &quot;It is easier to be simple&quot; since the Truth can not be fabricated.<br>
<br>
Do you agree that DCA wronged by fabricating a non existent community member on this list for a few years. ??<br>
<br>
<br>
Declaration of no COI is the best way for anyone in a respected authority such as ICANN. To me, what is going on is the best way forward.<br>
<br>
Why don&#39;t we Africans do that - to start with, I have declared my support to the Principle behind DCA long ago before the .africa gTLD saga was fabricated to become a &#39;talk of the town&#39;. That is clear and will not change unless the &#39;principle&#39; behind it is changed from what it has been during the past years.<br>


<br>
I think the principle changed doctor.  In a quest to succeed the truth was bent, the integrity and credibility of some of the team members was found to be wanting and general ethical behavior was simply non existent.  Yes you have tried your best to be straight and honest but surely that&#39;s a tough job when you surround yourself with the team you are supporting right now.<br>


<br>
<br>
The DCA Trust is not only for .africa gTLD Application as it seems to be deemed -  there have been other  undertakings by DCA that are being overlooked.<br>
<br>
Please share some of these good deeds.  The community would genuinely like to know and should know.<br>
<br>

BN<br>

Well done one and all<br>
