<div>Hello again everyone,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Given that the group discussion is focusing on the question of the most appropriate configuration and numbers for the leadership team, I’d like to note that Petter Rindforth had also previously self-nominated for a vice-chair position. As such, the full
slate of candidates for all chair-related positions (including just for vice-chair) is, in alphabetical order:</div>
<ul>
<li><b><i>Phil Corwin</i></b> (nominated/supported for chair/co-chair)</li><li><b><i>J. Scott Evans</i></b> (nominated/supported for chair/co-chair)</li><li><b><i>Danny Glix</i></b> (nominated for co-chair)</li><li><b><i>Kathy Kleiman</i></b> (nominated/supported for chair/co-chair)</li><li><b><i>Petter Rindforth</i></b> (nominated/supported for vice-chair)</li></ul>
<div>Please allow me to take this opportunity also to apologize for the fact that my email from yesterday appears to have been sent – automatically – three times. Apparently this is related to the “reply all” glitch some of you have experienced, due to the
enhanced security precautions that have been implemented for ICANN mailing lists. We’re continuing to work with IT and security on the problems – and I hope you won’t get this message three times :)</div>
<div><br>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Hi Greg,<br>
<br>
I think there is a good balance here, despite your concerns:<br>
If as you say, represents business interests with an IP focus, Kathy represents users of domain names and Phil presents owners of domain names, there is no real overlap here, and even if there were, the leaderships role is a neutral one and one's own position
should not influence the work, wouldn't you agree?<br>
<br>
While having a leadership position filled by the CPH may be desirable, there has been no nomination or volunteer that would fit that slot, AFAIK.
<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Volker<br>

<div class="gmail_default">If we are talking about "formal" representation, both J. Scott and Phil are members of the Business Constituency, so it's not fair to say that Phil, but not J. Scott, represents "business interests." On an informal or "de facto"
level, J Scott tends to represent (or at least stand for) the interests of businesses for whom IP is a significant asset, while Phil represents (and actually does represent) the interests of domain investors (a very specific sector of the business community
for whom IP is, at best, not a significant asset). As such, Phil's perspectives are far more aligned with those represented by Kathy, and that is the imbalance to which I refer. </div>
<div class="gmail_default"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default">My suggested configuration was intended to find a role for all 3 volunteers, while maintaining some sort of balance. If Phil's not interested in the GNSO Liaison role, in spite of the fact that it's the role he volunteered for at
Council, that's fine. However, that does make it appear that this was done as a steppingstone to the Chair and not out of interest in the role on its own merits. Of course, I may be reading too much into things. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<br>
<br>
with the list of nominations and seconds that we have right now (and provided we will not get any last minute nominations), it looks like Phil, Scott and Kathy have the most support. While none of these candidates represent contracted parties, I do not see
this as a problem, as I have great faith in the neutrality of all candidates.<br>
<br>
With Phil formally representing business interests, Scott the IP concerns and Kathy the non commercial users, I propose we consider a triumvirate, maybe with one chair and two co/vice-chairs, with Phil as chair and Scott and Kathy as co-chairs.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
