[arin-ppml] Notice of Appeal to the ARIN AUP Committee with respect to Gymnasium Querfurt and removal of Christopher Mettin Re: Official Spin-Off of GQBC and GQNET from the Gymnasium Querfurt High School to enhance education

Joe-
   Please let me complement you on your level of compassion for Mr. Mettin's image and his future throughout this incident. Although I have never met you, you sound like a good person. Your willingness to defend one who has defamed upon you is a testament to your nature.
   As you have been the one harmed in this incident, your preferences on how the ARIN community should be considered above the other members, and I respectfully defer my request to you and wait for your recommendation.
   However, as you pointed out, everything here is archived forever and with this issue dragging on we must also consider the ARIN community as a whole and it's ability to resolve conflicts. I worry that this whole issue, and others like it that may come up, may damage the ARIN reputation if ARIN cannot resolve these types of conflicts quickly and efficiently. These things ultimately are distractions to the business at hand.
   My request was simply made because Mr. Mettin, even though he had already been warned about his behaviour by ARIN, continued his behaviour. We have all in times of frustration and annoyance posted non-professional statements to public mailing lists. This is human nature. Sometimes we say something we don't mean. Usually, we come to regret our statements and many times appologize privately or publicly for our remarks. Mr. Mettin has not only not shown he is unwilling to retract his statements, he has continued making slanderous statements against you. It is my opinion that if ARIN does not deal with this type of behaviour in accordance with the rules, then we are ultimately degrading the quality of the ARIN mailing list and it's image in the Internet community.

I will not oppose the removal of Mr. Mettin this time. I don't care how old you are. I'm not a big fan of baseball so I don't believe in the three strikes rule. I'm into the one strike rule.

But I appeal to the AUP Committee to please not be hasty in making a decision. I have been promised a reply at least from the school in which they will address the members.

I also remind the committee and the members here that it is I who am being liable, slandered and defamed here. I therefore reserve the right to submit for the consideration of the AUP committee a representation concerning this matter.

Let us not forget who you are. ARIN is an internationally respected organization. You are about to cause damage to the reputation of an 18 year old boy. All these matters are forever archived. And I don't think Christopher is completely at fault here. I think a good portion of the fault lies with his school the Gymnasium Querfurt.

This boy is a victim. Both I and Christopher got involved in the INAIC Public-Root scandal. I'm an insider and even I didn't know about the fraud until I investigated in the Netherlands. It's not the boys fault that he went a little nutty trying to defend them. Again the fault is with the school. Where was the supervision?

Also I point out to the AUP Committee the school is responsible for his activities and statements here. I want to see how the Gymnasium Querfurt wiggles out of that. But also they only found out about this when I faxed them some three days ago. They had no idea what was going on. I tried emailing them but Christopher has been filtering the schools email. You may remember he said so in his Spin-Off notice to ARIN-PPML.

Thats another issue. He admitted he hijacked the schools email system - does the school even know? This may even be a criminal issue in Germany. But the bottom line here is that the school must share responsibility for Christopher's actions.

I therefore would like some time to prepare a statement to submit to the committee.

Thanks

I think Mt. Mettin’s statement, “If Mr. Baptista thinks he knows better about our internal school business, he can go tell his grandma, uh, no, I forgot he lives with his Mama, maybe she will still pay the next Internet bill then.”, qualifies as violating the ARIN prohibited activities section 1, “Statements that include foul language, personal character attacks, or show disrespect for other participants, including ARIN.”

Can we please remove Mr. Mettin and get on with more important business? This is getting old.

Thanks

Oh, someone admitting his guilt. I was counting on that. Yep, that’s the guy who was wasting our limited school paper.
4 week days in a row we received faxes (the one he linked was only the second one) containing falsified claims and crazy threats. This behavior violates the United States Code (don’t ask me for the exact section and clause).

If they don’t stop contacting our school immediately, we will take legal actions.

If anyone googles up, they will find a dozen of emails and faxes he sent to government offices and non-commercial organizations. It is also a falsification to identify oneself as a member of an organization that fired one and now tries to convince other people to not work with this company (as Mr. Baptista does). Is advised to ignore Mr. Baptista as everyone of the other affected people did.

If Mr. Baptista thinks he knows better about our internal school business, he can go tell his grandma, uh, no, I forgot he lives with his Mama, maybe she will still pay the next Internet bill then.

No further comments requested.

A very interesting development Christopher. But members reading this may be confused. So will provide here a brief summary.

Three days ago I faxed the Principle at Christopher's school the "Gymnasium Querfurt High School" a letter and supporting documentation with respect to Christopher's conduct in this conference - a copy of this fax is available for members to read at the following URL:

http://bit.ly/6q0r2g

As a result of my letter meetings were held and the school is now doing its best to distance itself from Christopher's projects.

The school has confirmed with me that they will be replying to my fax by letter. We will see then what they have to say.

I do hope the school will apologize to the members here for Christopher's conduct.

And in closing I want to take this opportunity to ask Christopher in public to apologize to the members for his conduct. I have asked Christopher in private correspondence to apologize to the members. To date no apology has been received and if Christopher can't provide one I hope the school does.

regards

Dear ARIN Community,

To strengthen education of high school education, even outside the walls of such an institution, in Mai 2008 the students of the Gymnasium Querfurt High School founded the Gymnasium Querfurt Broadcasting Channel, an International organization. It’s bylaws were soon written and meant to chronologically include all future amendments and extensions to the mission of the organizations, these bylaws are known as the GQ RFCs, in honor of the Requests for Change.

A few months afterwards the organizations was absorbed by the GQHS and managed together with GQHS teachers. Three days ago from today, this action was reversed together with our principal and the school assembly. The GQBC administration, namely I, wanted to ensure the organization will be still administrated according to its founding principles after my own graduation and those of my fellow student network administrators.

3 official reasons were stated in the spin-off contract:

1.       The fusion of GQBC with GQHS has never been authorized by a ratified GQ RFC. GQHS rather received a temporary mandate to help GQBC growing in its first life phases;

2.       GQ RFC 1 clearly stated that GQBC is an independent organization with the mission to support education. To maintain objectivity such an organization has to be run independently from a school. We only remained a phrase advising that GQBC originated from the GQHS on our website, and also GQBC will still provide services for the GQHS it provided before (e.g. web transcripts); and

3.       Due to massive email, fax, and even telephone fraud attacks by an opponent of the Public-Root (name intentionally omitted but we are sure everyone knows him), which already satisfy the definition of terrorism, and the fact that GQ RFCs did never grant GQBC the right to provide contact details of the GQHS to entities other than educational institutions. GQBC amended its policies and the contact page on gqbc-online.com<http://gqbc-online.com> to state that the only way for individuals and companies outside the state of Sachsen-Anhalt to contact the school is through a spam-filtered email address.

It is entirely true that the attacker failed his goal to knock down the development of a global school network (GQNET), and we can proudly say it was not the fate of the pilot project for International education to fail. The attacker will soon receive a message from our principal stating the school is no longer responsible for his falsified claims and “scam warnings” and he will have to immediately stop to write any faxes, emails, or call the school.

GQNET which was planned within the last weeks is now ready to start. There will be three main departments the network consists of: an Internet Service provider (GQNET.Connect) connecting all users to the GQNET , the .GQNET domain management (GQ NIC), and the team re-deploying the internal GQHS network to serve educational resources to the global GQNET (GQNET next-gen school network).

GQNET.Connect is hereby officially introduced as the first educational Internet Service Provider with multi-homed deployment which will soon go on with the work I began, making IP addresses available for educational purposes free of charge. And of course, GQNET.Connect is primarily based in Michigan), therefore subject to be served by ARIN with IP addresses.

I hope we can soon find a way to get the important IP’s without long discussions caused by commercial companies trying to reserve IP addresses for their own prosper. The Web is an exponentially growing knowledge library and not the stock market.

For those of you who want to benefit from a more inclusive name space the Public-Root, root of the Internet2 and our Top Level Domain sponsor, provides, go on http://inaic.com to receive further information on how to upgrade your desktop configurations and server hint files. Users of the Public-Root have instant access to most GQNET resources. Further, the Public-Root has master servers on all over the world and is therefore more reliable than the commercial legacy root, which is mainly deployed on the East and West coast of the US.

Sincerely yours,
Christopher Mettin
Student Network Administrator
GQBC
