    Colleagues:<br>
    <br>
    We have reached the point where we have agreement on 1 chair plus
    two vice chairs.<br>
    <br>
    We have the following volunteers for the positions:<br>
    <pre wrap="">Wolf-Ulrich Knoben
Patrik F&auml;lstr&ouml;m
Mohamed El Bashir
Keith Davidson
Alissa Cooper
</pre>
    Please cast three specific votes - one for the chair and one for
    each vice chair.&nbsp; Please make sure to designate the chair vote.&nbsp; We
    will tabulate the results. <br>
    <br>
    The votes may be made to the list (preferably) or may be made
    directly to me (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:joseph.alhadeff@oracle.com">joseph.alhadeff@oracle.com</a>).&nbsp; Please place ICG
    Officer Vote in the subject line so it will be easier to track.&nbsp;
    Since this process has been underway for quite some time, I am
    asking that votes be cast by August 18th 23:59 UTC time so that we
    can announce the results on our call.&nbsp; Whatever the results, I
    suggest that, as acting chair, Alissa chair the call on the 19th.<br>
    <br>
    Finally, I would remind everyone of the discussions related to
    diversity, both organizational and geographic and would ask people
    to keep those important elements in mind when voting.&nbsp; As we
    finalize the consensus process I will finalize edits to the officer
    responsibilities document, just to make sure that the description is
    as accurate and complete as possible.<br>

                    &gt; I would also support the consensus call here. I

                    supports 1+2, and that the minority objections to it
                    pertained to regional/citizenship diversity. I
                    thought that these concerns had been met by the

                    &gt;&gt;&gt; Sorry Alissa,<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt; I'm afraid there is neither clarity nor
                    consensus on the way forward on<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt; this point, and that the deadline will
                    have to be extended.<br>
                    &gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt; As interim chair, I made the consensus call
                    last week, in my email below.<br>
                    &gt;&gt; It continues to stand, and I believe I have
                    the support of the bulk of the<br>
                    &gt;&gt; group behind me. Consensus involves
                    accommodating objections to the best<br>
                    &gt;&gt; extent possible while maintaining broad
                    support within the group. It does<br>
                    &gt;&gt; not require unanimity and cannot be held up
                    by a small minority of objectors.<br>
                    &gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt; So we are on track to get the selection
                    going once the deadline expires later<br>

                    &gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Hi all,<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Thanks to everyone for engaging on
                    the topic of chair structure.<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Taking in all of the in-person and
                    email discussion thus far, I think<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; we have a viable path forward. My
                    observations are:<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 1. In response to the compromise I
                    suggested on July 31 [i], the group<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; demonstrated broad support for a
                    1+2 structure, with an objection from<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Jean-Jacques and ALAC. This
                    included support from people who had<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; previously stated preferences for
                    other structures, and even support<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; from people who had previously said
                    they could not live with 1+2. This<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; is what some people might call
                    &#8220;consensus&#8221; and what I would normally<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; describe as &#8220;rough consensus&#8221; in
                    support of 1+2.<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 2. We have very strong support for
                    a &#8220;1+something&#8221; chair structure,<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; following the recent mail from
                    Jean-Jacques [ii]. I don&#8217;t think we<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; have anyone objecting to
                    1+something at this point.<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 3. We have had lengthy discussions
                    on the list about geographic<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; diversity. We have very strong
                    support in the group for having<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; geographically diverse
                    participation throughout the stewardship<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; transition plan development
                    process. We have differences of opinion<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; within the group about the extent
                    to which that diversity must be<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; required to extend to the chairs of
                    the ICG.<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 4. We have a demonstrated need to
                    agree within the ICG about the<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; methods, both electronic and
                    in-person, that we will use to arrive at<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; and judge consensus within this
                    group going forward.<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Taking the above into
                    consideration, let's proceed as follows:<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Go forward with a 1+2 structure &#8212; 1
                    chair and 2 vice-chairs. I believe<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; the current list of people who have
                    volunteered to serve in these<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; roles<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; is:<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Russ Housley<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Patrik F&auml;lstr&ouml;m<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Mohamed El Bashir<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Keith Drazek<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Alissa Cooper<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; (I do not think we need
                    re-confirmations from the above people because<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; they have mostly re-confirmed
                    already on the list at some point over<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; the last several weeks, but if any
                    of the above listed people wants to<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; withdraw, please say so.)<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Taking the suggestion from
                    Jean-Jacques, I think we should give people<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; a few more days to volunteer. So if
                    you would like to volunteer,<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; please make that known on the list
                    by August 11, 23:59 UTC.<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On August 12, Joe, who previously
                    agreed to detail the chair roles and<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; run the selection process [iii],
                    and Wolf-Ulrich, who has agreed to<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; help Joe while Joe is traveling,
                    will launch the selection process. In<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; making their selections, ICG
                    participants should take the geographic<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; diversity discussions we&#8217;ve had
                    into account.<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Joe and Wolf-Ulrich will also begin
                    drafting a proposal that describes<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; the methods the group will use for
                    arriving at and judging consensus<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; going forward, and will make that
                    proposal available to the group for<br>
                    &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; discussion when it is ready.<br>
