I'm sorry that you feel that the Secretariat is not taking the issue seriously. The Secretariat would never condone interference with participation. We will investigate the issues that have been raised with the current teleconference provider. If you would like to pursue the issue, please feel free to raise it at the next teleconference.
The Secretariat does not seem to like the transparency of this discussion. It also seems obvious that the Secretariat is having difficulty grasping the core issue. The conference bridge and associated administrative failures are only a symptom. The attitude of the Secretariat towards the enabling of the ASO AC's participation is the cause.
The continued deflection of responsibility is not helpful and I would appreciate it if you would take this issue, address it realistically by attempting to remove any roadblocks that may be present, and subsequently addressing this with a solution instead of the continued minimization of our participation.
I think that the core problem has been amply demonstrated in this discussion and thank you fro your response and look forward to your solution, which I will report back on.
Best Regards,
Martin Hannigan ASO AC Member, ARIN Region
