<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Mirjana and all,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am extremely sorry for delayed response.
I understand and support you concern, I am also convinced that some one
from Latin Script Native Speaker should lead the group. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">However, we need to ball rolling after
the departure of Chris and especially Meikal is extremely busy, as communicated
by him, I am willing to share your load, until some one becomes willing
to join as a chair. Let us plan for conference call to discuss comments
of Integration Panel on document submitted by Chris.</font>

<br><font size=3 face="Calibri">Dear colleagues,</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri">I was very sorry hearing that Chris is
leaving us. He was a good chair, we have done a huge job thanks to his
effort and commitment.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri">I am very honoured with your proposal to
become a chair of our working group but I am not sure that I am the good
choice for the new chair. </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri">I have to stress your attention to some
obstacles I have. </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri">· My background is
not linguistic ( although I have learned some Latin and Ancient Greek
many years ago), most of my professional life was committed to computer
networks and information processing.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri">· I am not an English
native speaker so we shall need someone to review and correct any English
text I wrote. </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri">· I cannot travel
far distances by plain because of my health condition. </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri">· And the last one
for the moment, I shall have some more time to commit to our project later
this year, probably October.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri">I think that the right solution could be
to have few co chairs, so they can support each other in different aspects
of our work.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri"> </font>

Mirjana has also done wonderful job, she may be a good choice for the group.<br>

<br><font size=3 color=#2f2f2f face="Calibri">Dear colleagues, </font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 color=#2f2f2f face="Calibri">it is really sad that Chris
had to step down from the position as chair. I'm glad that we had him for
so long and I am impressed at the amount of work he saw through together
with the group.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 color=#2f2f2f face="Calibri">I suggest we discuss how
to go on from here - What do you all think is the future of LGP? I think
we need a chair, who ideally should receive strong secretariat support
from ICANN to help organize the re-occurring chores of such a position,
such as setting up calendar events, scheduling meetings, setting polls,
helping with the infrastructure of shared documents, etc.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 color=#2f2f2f face="Calibri">Unfortunately, I'm not in
a position to dedicate that much time to our group and therefore can not
volunteer for such a role. However, I suggest we communicate to see if
anyone among is able and ready to take such a position either temporarily,
or ideally permanently.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 color=#2f2f2f face="Calibri">If there is no one for the
moment, I assume we should talk about if and how we could operate without,
a chair, or if structural changes are needed (multiple/split chairs) or
if we should start reaching out to the community again until someone presents
her or himself with enough support from the group and the community.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 color=#2f2f2f face="Calibri">Whatever road we take, I
would wish for us to find a way to continue with this project. We have
made good progress from my point of view and I believe this is important
work.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 color=#2f2f2f face="Calibri">Best wishes,</font>
