  3. Question Time
    • 12:04 <ReinhardM> Answer to katzazi
      12:04 <ReinhardM> All q´your questions will be answered by the investigation committee.
      12:05 <katzazi> they were answers to you not to any committe who cannot answer thenm
      12:05 <katzazi> that committee is not board and cannot answer for board
      12:06 <katzazi> also I will not accept such a committee
      12:06 <ReinhardM> IMHO board will be questioned by the investigation committee as well as the members in question.
      12:06 <katzazi> but it was a members question not a question of a committee or anything else
      12:06 <katzazi> those were questions about your work and not mine
      12:07 <katzazi> and as far as I understand you that committee should investigate my or other persons work and not board work
      12:07 <katzazi> so you should answer on your own
      12:07 <katzazi> can you please name the lawyer for that committee
      12:08 <ReinhardM> Our answer is the implementation of such an investigation committee.
      12:08 <katzazi> that is not an answer to those quesitons
      12:09 <katzazi> another question: why did you not address the recent comments from critical and access team?
      12:09 <katzazi> what is the name of the lawyer?
      12:09 <ReinhardM> The answer was already given in topic 2.4
      12:09 <katzazi> no
      12:10 <katzazi> there were no names
      12:10 <ReinhardM> names are privat concerns
      12:10 <katzazi> you want me to be affected to I have a right to learn that name
      12:10 <katzazi> also I have reasons to doubt that you have found such a lawyer
      12:11 <ReinhardM> that is your circling method
      12:11 <ReinhardM> therefor we want the investigation committee.
      12:11 <katzazi> so that you do not have to answer any questions?
      12:11 <ReinhardM> We see the results coming from a third party. That will be the base of a solution.
      12:12 <katzazi> no
      12:12 <katzazi> it will not a base for a solution
      12:12 <katzazi> what about just telling us what the issues are?
      12:12 <ReinhardM> So if you do not accept the investigation committee as you wrote already, we have to make a decision?
      12:12 <katzazi> no you have to name the allegations
      12:12 <katzazi> and go to arbitration
      12:12 <katzazi> those are our rules
      12:12 <ReinhardM> Are there any more questions from the floor?
      12:12 <katzazi> there are no other rules
      12:13 <katzazi> yes
      12:13 <katzazi> I asked one above
      12:13 <ReinhardM> Are there any more questions from the floor?
      12:13 <katzazi> why did you not address that critical team and access team have announced to stop their work
      12:13 <katzazi> because of recent board activities
      12:13 <katzazi> also: why did you not answer the questions raised on board public?
      12:14 <katzazi> critical team and access team are not related to the investigation committee or are they now under that committee as well?
      12:15 <katzazi> also why are you censoring the questions of the members?
      12:15 <katzazi> and what is missing for the OTF report?
      12:16 <katzazi> why do you not use email for your non-poll?
      12:16 <katzazi> when will you bring up the topics of the last board?
      12:17 <katzazi> where was it changed that the cacert logo is under open license so cannot be used by someone else on their website?
      12:19 <katzazi> you should be able to answer at least some of those questions now, as they were about topics handled today and any board member could have asked according questions as well so you should have an answer prepared
