Chair and GNSO Liaison as a place holding courtesy, pending the decision of WG members on permanent leadership. So to imply that I am somehow misusing the Liaison role to secure a leadership position is indeed reading way too much into things. </div>

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>

<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>
<br>
Volker<br>
