Very, very sorry... 2017-05-18 14:43 GMT+03:00 Filiz Yilmaz <koalafil@gmail.com>:
Dear all,
Following the inception of Accountability Task Force at RIPE73, I have accepted to be part of it as well as to contribute to the work in the Co-Chair position alongside William Sylvester.
Unfortunately seeing the tone of the recent discussions around the Task Force in various mailing lists, I’ve lost my motivation to pursue a role within the Task Force. Words like “amateur lawyers” are being thrown into discussions in relation to the Task Force. I don’t know what is meant with this or who is intended to be addressed with that actually but I personally find this neither helpful nor constructive in the context of the discussions taking place. It is not only NOT inline, in my belief, with our expected standard behaviours but it also distracts from the actual work that TF members should be focusing on.
I also observed that after 6 months of its inception there is still questioning around the Task Force’s remit and its scope. This made me question as well whether or not this is a topic that has general support of the larger community.
I am very time challenged in my day job and considering the points above, it would just not be wise for me to stay in the TF under these current circumstances. Accordingly I have decided to step down from both member status as well as the Co-Chair position of the Task Force.
I personally believe the areas and topics Accountability TF has planned to look into are important for the future of an healthy RIPE Community and so I will be continuing my participation as a community member when they publish their work.
Kind regards
Filiz Yilmaz
