I will miss you J.  I hope your leaving is a good sign and not done out of
frustration.

> Dear Working Group members,
>  
> On behalf of Heather Forrest, Chair of the GNSO Council, Kathy and Philip,
> Co-Chairs of the RPM Working Group, we are informing you that J. Scott has
> decided to resign as Co-Chair effective Friday, 02 March.  We are all very
> grateful for J. Scott¹s dedication and thoughtful leadership of this Working
> Group since its inception.
>  
> At this time we are asking Working Group members to consider the importance
> for this group to continue to have a third Co-Chair to assist in the
> administration of its large and complex agenda and encourage members to
> immediately begin consideration of volunteering or nominating someone else.
> We also would like to suggest that the Working Group could reserve time during
> our face-to-face meetings on Saturday, 10 March at ICANN61, to discuss the
> Co-Chair selection process; based on our recent survey these will be the full
> WG meetings with the greatest member participation.
>  
> For your guidance, please see below the relevant sections of the GNSO Working
> Group Guidelines on how Working Group leaders are selected.  Note that holding
> an election is not mandatory.  It is up to the Working Group to determine
> whether and how it wishes to appoint an additional Chair.  In addition,
> although (as noted below) the GNSO Council must confirm the appointment via
> its consent agenda, in the meantime, if the Working Group agrees on an
> additional chair, he/she can begin serving as an interim appointee.
>  
> We look forward to hearing from the Working Group on how best to proceed.
>  
> Best regards,
> Mary, Ariel, Berry and Julie

> 2.1.4.2   Election of the WG Leaders
>  
> Unless a Chair has already been named by the Chartering Organization, normally
> a Chair will be selected at the first meeting of the WG. Until that time, the
> Chartering Organization¹s liaison may fulfill the role of interim Chair.  A
> Working Group may elect to have Co-Chairs and Vice-Chairs. Under extraordinary
> circumstances, ICANN staff may be requested to perform administrative co-
> ordination of the WG until such time a Chair can be appointed. Once selected,
> a Working Group Chair will need to be confirmed by the Chartering Organization
> (CO).  The newly elected Chair will act on a provisional basis until the
> Chartering Organization has confirmed the appointment.  If there are any
> objections to the selected Chair, the CO will conduct a vote to establish
> whether there is sufficient support for the selected Chair according to the
> voting procedures of the CO.  If not, the Working Group will be requested to
> reconsider their choice for Chair and return to the CO with a new proposal.
> In the unlikely event that the selected Chair is rejected by the CO, the CO
> must articulate its reason for the rejection and the WG must be able to ask
> for reconsideration of the decision.
>  
> Section 2.2: A suggested procedure to conduct elections may be:
> € Nominations or self-nominations;
> € Statements of qualifications from candidates, which sets forth the
> qualifications, qualities and
> experience that they possess that will serve the particular WG;
> € Vote by simple majority;
> € Notification of and subsequent confirmation by the Chartering Organization
> of results of
> actions².
