    I agree with Jim, Marc and Steve that in the future greater clarity
    is necessary regarding such polls.  However, I certainly support the
    current configuration and am grateful for their forbearance in
    agreeing to move forward.  And thanks to all who came forward as
    leadership candidates.<br>

        <p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Jim on all points.<br>
          <br>
          I'm not objecting as I feel comfortable that a leadership team
          with Chuck as chair supported by Susan, Michele and David in a
          configuration that they will propose to the rest of the
          working group will do an excellent job. I also recognize and
          agree with the point made on today's call that we need to
          select a leadership team and move forward.<br>
          <br>
          I do want to echo Jim's point about the purpose of the pole.
          It seemed to me that the pole was created in response to the
          volume of email created by people "seconding" candidates
          applying for leadership positions. Like Jim I did not
          participate in the candidate support poll but did participate
          in the leadership characteristics poll. I certainly would have
          participated in the candidate poll had I know it would be used
          in this manner. I don't think it's necessary to re-open to
          poll.<br>
          <br>
          While Chuck as chair isn't one of them, this PDP will be
          dealing with a number of contentious items and it's essential
          that we are clear in what we are asking and communicating
          going forward.<br>
          <br>
          Thank you,<br>

          Subject: Re: [gnso-rds-pdp-wg] RDS PDP WG Leadership Team -
          Deadline for objections Wed 10 Feb at 18.00 UTC<br>
          <br>
          This is not an objection but I do want to repeat the comment I
          made during the meeting we just had.<br>
          <br>
          First, I’m not objecting because I appreciate that we operate
          with a consensus driven process and this call for any
          objections is a tool in that process.<br>
          <br>
          However, the concern I stated during the meeting is that when
          the poll was created it was never clearly stated that it was
          going to be used as a consensus judging tool to select the
          leadership.<br>
          <br>
          Less than 1 third of the working group members responded to
          the opportunity to indicate support for leadership candidates
          while almost 2 thirds responded to the opportunity to identify
          desirable characteristics. If you just look at the numbers
          clearly the “top 4” could change dramatically if more people
          had participated in the poll, and I have to believe that more
          would have participated if they had known it would be
          important to do so.<br>
          <br>
          In the interest of full disclosure, I did not participate in
          the candidate support poll while I did participate in the
          leadership characteristics poll.<br>
          <br>
          It is essential that “formal questions” be clearly stated as
          such so that working group members have an opportunity to
          fully evaluate the consequences of their actions (or
          non-actions).<br>
          <br>
          Thanks,<br>
          <br>
          Jim<br>
