    Having watched Chuck in action on a couple of the working groups he
    has mentioned, I fully endorse his candidature.  He does an
    excellent job as a neutral chair.  I would suggest that, supported
    by co-chairs from the various stakeholder groups, we would have a

          eventually the WG recommendations will need to be considered

          those Stakeholder Groups and as such it may ensure that
          particular sensitivities or concerns are dealt with
          appropriately by the WG before the recommendations are
          finalised for submission. <br>
          <br>
          In their applications, WG members were asked to indicate their
          affiliation (i.e. if you are a member of a GNSO SG/C or
          SO/AC). For those not affiliated or not wanting to be
          affiliated, those have been identified as individuals. There
          is no such category as ‘independent experts’ although the WG
          at some point may identify a need to identify, approach and
          consult independent experts if it is determined that the
          needed expertise is not available within the WG membership.<br>

          <br>
          Dear Members,<br>
           <br>
          While I do agree that GNSO has important role here, I
          emphasise that leaders from other stakeholder groups must be
          equally involved. In order to develop a fair policy practical
          experience of each working group member will have a
          significant role .Therefore independent cyber law experts or
          cyber security experts  may be consulted as group member by
          segregating the domain /stakeholder group .If I have correctly
          understood independent experts will belong to non commercial 
          category.Please correct me if It is otherwise.
          <br>
           <br>
          I do agree with Mr. Chuck suggestions on creating different
          leaders for different teams that will work on the project.<br>
           <br>

          the GNSO, a team leadership approach for WGs and even for the

          only spreads the workload around but more importantly it
          allows for a small team of experienced people to collaborate
          together in leading the group’s efforts. Here are a few
          examples where a collaborative leadership team have been used:<o:p></o:p></p>

        <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">For those that are
          new to GNSO policy development processes, any recommendations
          made by a WG have to eventually be approved by the GNSO
          Council, which primarily consists of the four SGs.  So Having
          all SGs involved in the leadership of the WG from the
          beginning should facilitate approval in the end.<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">It is important to
          remember that the role of the leadership team is to facilitate
          bottom-up multi-stakeholder policy development in a neutral
          and effective manner using a consensus based approach.  This
          of course means managing meetings and online work to ensure
          that the WG charter requirements are satisfied.  Hopefully, in
          most cases this will mean guiding the full group in developing
          recommendations that most if not all of the WG members can
          support.  But, after diligent efforts to reach consensus,
          there is still significant divergence about certain proposed
          recommendations, it will be the leaders responsibility to
          decide whether there is sufficient support in the WG to submit
          such recommendations to the GNSO Council.  Understanding this,
          it is important that each SG endorse the person on the
          leadership team from its group.<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
        <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">I hope that we can
          confirm whether or not there is support for this approach in
          our WG call tomorrow.  If there is, then it will guide our
          efforts in finding qualified members to serve on the
          leadership team as well as how to structure the team (2
          co-chairs + 2 co-vice-chairs or 1 chair + 3 co-vice-chairs).<o:p></o:p></p>
