Hi,

There was one particular discussion at which some people voiced concerns
about people from FoXIT or other security companies getting in, not the
organization. The outcome was that for this particular discussion they
were allowed in as well. The question raised there wasa legitimate one,
the security firms represent power inequality, if you have ever been the
victim of (any) state harrassment you can feel very insecure when they
are around, and that will change the discussion. In the end however it
was clear that N^2 was more about inclusiveness and dialogue.

I was totally disgusted by how the organization was constantly making
allegations and treats towards N^2 and apparently spreading
misinformation and overstatements. They were completely overworked and
unreasonable and unprofessional. N^2 has done all it could to
de-escalate, discuss and mitigate all of the unnecessary problems that
arose.

Cheers, Sacha
