size=2 face=Arial>in my opinion in particular Rob Hoggarth's allocation is
questionnable taking into consideration that he is one of the key ICANN staff
relating to the GNSO tasks. I think ICANN should ensure that
his performance regarding the GNSO work will not get effected
negatively.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN>Dear JAS WG Co-Chairs,</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>After
having spoken to Rod Beckstrom and an exchange of emails with
Kurt</SPAN><BR><SPAN>Pritz, I am pleased to be able to inform you of
additional staff members</SPAN><BR><SPAN>who will join the JAS WG support
team in order to somehow ease the</SPAN><BR><SPAN>pressure on the current
staff and volunteers. Whilst I am well aware</SPAN><BR><SPAN>that the
concept of "man-days" does not always apply, I believe that
the</SPAN><BR><SPAN>additional staff members bring the skills and experience
to the JAS</SPAN><BR><SPAN>table which the writing Team should be able to
exploit immediately,</SPAN><BR><SPAN>especially given the extremely short
deadlines which the WG is faced with.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>I
therefore resort to both of you, Carlton and Rafik, to incorporate
the</SPAN><BR><SPAN>new arrivals to the JAS WG as soon as possible, whether
by integrating</SPAN><BR><SPAN>them on the WG calls, the WG post-calls,
etc.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>First, Rob Hoggarth from Policy
Development Support will pick up</SPAN><BR><SPAN>drafting for the final
report. Karen Lentz will provide editing</SPAN><BR><SPAN>assistance. Dan
Halloran will join the team to identify and take back</SPAN><BR><SPAN>legal
issues that arise. In making these selections, Rod and Kurt
tried</SPAN><BR><SPAN>to find those individuals that would best ensure the
success of the</SPAN><BR><SPAN>group and I am grateful for them taking the
time to study this</SPAN><BR><SPAN>carefully. In addition, Lynn Lipinski
from the ICANN communications</SPAN><BR><SPAN>staff will remain on the staff
support team and undertake the writing of</SPAN><BR><SPAN>public information
about the process as previously agreed. Karla and</SPAN><BR><SPAN>Seth will
also continue to support the team in their current
roles.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>These additions are effective
immediately and we expect to see a</SPAN><BR><SPAN>beneficial effect right
away. I gather that current staff for the WG can</SPAN><BR><SPAN>integrate
newcomers ASAP and trust that this will give a bit more
oxygen</SPAN><BR><SPAN>to the current WG members to breathe once in a
while.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>In the meantime, please let me know
if there is anything else that the</SPAN><BR><SPAN>ALAC can do to help to
catalyse the production of the JAS Final
Report.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Kind
regards,</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Olivier
Crepin-Leblond</SPAN><BR><SPAN>ALAC
Chair</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
