Its true that Stephane clarified before speaking that he was not speaking on 
behalf of GNSO or as its Chair.

Kristina,

I'm as disappointed in that press report you have produced, as I am that you 
could think I would say something like that as GNSO Chair…

My first sentence of that day, which of course was not quoted (Managing IP 
never spoke to me or asked to interview me - I did not even know they were in 
attendance), but which Zahid, David and others who were in the room can 
confirm, was that I was not speaking as GNSO Chair but as general manager of 
INDOM.

I understand that in the current climate of mistrust that some seem intent on 
maintaining within the Council, I need to make such clarifications every time I 
say anything to anyone, anywhere, and so will continue to do so because that is 
what the role of Chair demands.

However I don't share your view that some reading that article would think I 
was speaking as GNSO Chair. Quite the contrary, most people seem to clearly 
understand that even though I am the current GNSO Chair, in my normal working 
day, I represent the company I work for and not anyone, or anything else. 

Stéphane
