Hi Ayden,
I don't want to dive into speculations nor respond to those
unnecessary claims and accusations that you publicly send my way. This
is quite a habit you have and it is not surprising, my hope is to see
you change this way of treating your fellows. If at all it happens. We
all do things here with good faith not to harm anyone, i hope you too.
I don't do competition here and this should be clear. I simply
contribute whenever I can and with what I have. I also sometimes have
to emphasize on something someone else said but which was not acted
upon. And this is just an example.
You should be honest and say (you actually don't need to say it as it
can be seen on the google doc) that you made the edits exactly 40
minutes after I have commented (adding substance to Martin's comment
that you ignored for almost two days) and after I sent this email with
my general comments, in the same spirit as Martin's.
So, thanks for making the edits that answer my main concern, the fact
that it is only within the NCSG that we do policy work, not the whole
of ICANN and we should not expect every single fellow to do policy.
In the end, that's what matters, when suggested edits are being taken
into account, nothing else. That's what encourages to contribute to
public comments.
Regards,
Arsene
