Thanks, Ron, for your question. <div>The BC ExComm had a discussion this morning about leadership of the Council -- Chair and V.Chair--and it is my intent to make that a part of our call on 11/11, as the primary non policy topic. The process that the Council has approved calls for each house to put forward one candidate endorsed by the House. The election of the Chair is presently scheduled to take place before the Cartegena meeting by ballot, with a complex process on how to deal with ties, or failure to reach a 60% majority.</div><div>The elections of Vice Chairs is undertaken within each House. I will include a discussion on V.Chair in the upcoming BC Members call as well. </div><div><br></div><div>Please remember you are asked to nominate priority topics as well for the breakfast with the Board in Cartegena and the CSG and BC meetings. You can send those off list or on list. If you sent off list, please include Chair Chaplow, who is helping with the planning of our BC program in Cartegena. </div><div><br></div><div>Policy topics for 11/11 Members call:</div><div>Steve has developed a priority list of policy topics for the rest of the call which he reviewed today. He is posting those to this list shortly.</div><div><br></div><div>The call, again, for members calendaring purposes is 11/11, 10 a.m. EDT. See bridge posted separately to the bc private list. The call will be recorded and transcribed. </div><div>15 minutes on topics above/45 minutes on the policy issues in Steve's nominated list, or other topics that members add. </div><div><br></div><div>Marilyn Cade </div><div>BC Chair<br><br><br><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: randruff@rnapartners.com<br>To: marilynscade@hotmail.com; bc-gnso@icann.org<br>Subject: RE: [bc-gnso] BC member call 11/11<br>Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 12:24:13 -0400<br><br>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="3" color="blue" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue">Regarding our call on 11/11, I would like
to see a discussion take place around who the BC – and larger CSG –
would like to see as the new Chair of the GNSO. If I understand it
correctly, Chuck’s term is up at Cartegena and he will not be running again
due to term limits. Olga Cavalli and Stephane van Gelder are the current
Vice Chairs and Jeff Neuman will also be joining the Council, so those are
three names that may or may not be intending to run for GNSO Chair… Do
other members have any thoughts on potential Chairs?</span></font></p>
