<br>
A clarification, saying ex official means saying it is because of<br>
another role held.<br>
<br>
Do you also mean that this should be a non voting seat?<br>
I think you do, but want to make sure.<br>
<br>
I would note that ICANN has a voting CEO on its Board.<br>
Does ISOC? How about the RIRs?<br>
Just curious.<br>
