Although I was one of the more vocal members among the APRICOT
team of people, and I pointed out to Esther during the ICANN Press
Conference in Singapore, that having a press conference without giving notice,
at least, to the local organizer is not acceptable in Asian context, I have
some
reservation about the portion of the article, while I agree most points.
Thus I do not think that this will call for the resignation of the Board.
In my opinion, we, the Asian sides, also made some mistakes so
that it resulted rather unfortunate situation. Simply blaming the
guest is not also accepatble for a being a good host that is what
we wanted to be.
I agreed with Esther that we should learn, learn together.
Yes, the Board may be arrogant, at times, but I see also others as
arrogant... or more, it's sad to say this.
best,
izumi
