        <div>Hi,</div>
        <div> </div>
        <div>First, I just want to thank Mason for agreeing to continue
          to serve as liaison. His dedication is much appreciated.</div>
        <div> </div>
        <div>I would have great difficulty supporting anyone who does
          not have extensive GNSO policy development experience for this
          role. This is a relatively sensitive position and a well
          meaning individual without the requisite skill set could do
          more harm than good. At this delicate stage in the transition
          that's a chance we just can't take. I should note that I
          personally considered applying for this position but felt I
          did not yet have the longevity or necessary experience to
          perform adequately in the role. This should be a very high
          level appointment.</div>
        <div> </div>
        <div>I am perturbed at the apparent allegations of any
          impropriety in the process. I wasn't happy with the CCT
          selection process, feel the noncommercial community did not
          receive adequate consideration for our candidates, felt the
          rules changed a bit somewhat as the process went forward, but
          at no time did I ever feel the need to make any allegations
          about intentional impropriety. This despite the fact the NCSG,
          NCUC and NPOC (three groups I have some role in representing
          on Council), unlike the IPC, has nobody currently represented
          on the leadership team. The perfect is sometimes difficult to
          achieve but the lack thereof does not mean the existence of
          intentional culpability on the part of anyone.</div>
        <div> </div>
        <div>I agree with the decision of the Council leadership team in
          this instance. If Mason is willing to continue in the role,
          I'd suggest we defer this appointment for the new Council to
          make when it takes office in the fall. Henceforth it might be
          a good idea to formalise appointments of this sort so they
          correspond with Council terms and the AGM.</div>

                need to know who the applicant was (or even applicants
                in another hypothetical situation where there have been
                more than one). I understand the concerns raised for
                transparency in the selection process, but also
                appreciate the concerns with publishing the names of
                applicants. I would not want the need to publish the
                names publicly deter GNSO community members from
                applying when a call of volunteers is made. Apparently,
                the position is already proving to be somewhat difficult

style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Recently
                                          we closed the nomination
                                          period for candidates
                                          interested in being considered
                                          for the role of GNSO Liaison
                                          to the GAC.  Unfortunately,
                                          the response from the GNSO
                                          community was underwhelming.
                                           The Vice Chairs and I believe
                                          that this may be at least
                                          partly attributable to the
                                          timing of the announcement, as
                                          more candidates could be
                                          interested in the role if it
                                          coincided with the terms of
                                          other elected and appointed
                                          positions, which is the
                                          conclusion of the AGM in

                                          with this in mind, I’d like to
                                          propose that we postpone the

                                          expected that the additional
                                          time will generate renewed
                                          attention to the role,
                                          additional expressions of
                                          interest from prospective
                                          candidates, and permanently
                                          align the term of this
