Of course, that task force was only created to prevent my nomination in the next elections, thank you for proving it.</div>

<div class="x_PlainText">Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
The EB Election Task force has been established on Monday, and it took about<br>
a day to understand that at least half of the TF members prefer not to<br>
be in the same group with Elad Cohen.<br>
It was not clearly stated – we just didn’t have enough time for this –<br>
but everyone was expected to follow the Code of Conduct for RIPE<br>
Meetings. However, Elad clearly said that he is not following the CoC.<br>
<br>
The Task Force is expected to produce an useful output for the<br>
Executive Board and to help clarify the RIPE NCC election procedures.<br>
We have a short time to organise several meetings and exchange<br>
opinions. Developing and accepting our own CoC means stealing time<br>
from ourselves. We should be able to behave in a small group without a<br>
rules written in stone. And the Task Force should be a place for a<br>
comfortable work, not for fight and defense. I am sorry that this<br>
wasn’t true in the very beginning of our work.<br>
<br>
I would like to prevent resignations from the Task Force. The TF<br>
members should not feel any fears and threats caused by any other TF<br>
member. And all this above and the motion from the TF members for<br>
removal led me to a decision to dismiss Elad Cohen from the RIPE NCC<br>
Executive Board Election Task Force, effective immediately.<br>
<br>
<br>
With Best Regards,<br>
Sergey Myasoedov<br>
RIPE NCC Executive Board Election Task Force Chair<br>
