> Karl is free to examine ICANN records any time he is ready to comply with 
> established procedures that apply to him and any other Director -- in 
> complete accordance with California law. Karl is not being singled out. 
> Among other reasonable provisions, these procedures are designed to 
> protect confidential records, such as personnel files. Karl wishes to set 
> himself above the direct or delegated authority of the  ICANN Board of 
> Directors, in declaring himself as the sole determinant of what is 
> confidential and what is not. That is not his prerogative according to 
> California law or ICANN bylaws.

> The procedures to which he objects were endorsed by the Audit Committee of 
> the ICANN Board, to whom the Board has delegated responsibility for this 
> general area. He is always welcome to take his objections to the full 
> Board should he wish. So far, he has not chosen to do so.
