Dear Friends<br>

I fully endorse the nomination of Chuck. His track record and his
actions speak for themselves. Enough said!<br>

Yours<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">When I volunteered for this WG, I did so
with the sincere intention of participating actively as a
member and not as a leader, but I have been requested by
several people to consider serving on the leadership team and
have decided to put my name forward for WG consideration. As
I say at the end of the information I provide below, I want to
be clear that I can only commit at this time to serve in a
leadership capacity for Phase 1. In that regard, I believe
that Phase 1 is very critical because it will largely
influence whether Phases 2 & 3 will happen and will set
the tone for the rest of the PDP.

<p class="MsoNormal">I think that most of us realize that the
CWG Stewardship and the CCWG Accountability efforts are
critical demonstrations of the success of the ICANN bottom-up,
multi-stakeholder model. And, because of how contentious
Whois discussions have been over the last 15 years, I believe
that the RDS PDP WG will be another critical opportunity for
all of us to prove that the model works.<o:p></o:p></p>
