A very practical and applicable example is that PersonalNames putting
forward Hakon as their representative. As a co-founder, former director
of sales and marketing, VP product management who currently sits on the
Global Names Registry board of directors, Mr. Haugnes is in possession
of, or has access to significant data and/or information regarding the
operation of my business and that of every other .name Registrar. Now,
we are expected to treat him as an equal within this constituency as a
fellow registrar. This creates a circumstance whereby GNR, the registry
is allowed to drive or influence the agenda of this constituency because
of Hakon's conflicting registry interests and access to sensitive
information about the operation of our respective businesses.

This creates an untenable situation that we have the option to avoid by
acting now, before it becomes an issue.
