<DIV>endorsing what Janis has said; seems strange that the Board Chair and the
GAC can, but the SO and other AC chairs cant...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I think its a question for each SO to determine, observing usual conflict
of interest rules and the common sense which you and others bring to making
these things work.</DIV>

following question was raised in the GNSO Council meeting today regarding
your final selection of AoC A&T Review Team members: Is there
any anticipation that leaders in an SO or AC (councilors, chairs, etc.) would
be eliminated from consideration for the RT? I stated that I was unaware
of any restrictions like this, but said I would ask the two of
you.</SPAN><O:P></O:P></DIV></DIV>
