In late 2009 Marte was expelled by Conrad Schmidt from membership of the WNBR-Coordinators Yahoo! group, World Naked Bike Ride Yahoo! group, and other Australian Yahoo! groups or had moderator functions removed. Conrad Schmidt also removed Marte's webmaster control over the World Naked Bike Ride - Australia sub-domain (the main .html Australia website).
