Hi,
Thanks Rafik.
If we decide to go with co-chairs, I would be happy to serve as one, if
the group supports having me in such a role.
I would bring not only experience from last round and from consulting
with several applicants this time, but also my concern for community
TLDs and for extending the gTLD program to developing economies,
something that I feel we fell short of last time.
We learned a lot last time in terms of not being specific enough in our
policies to guarantee a program implementation that met the assumptions
that had been made. The PDP and the notion of implementation teams has
not been added to the PDP process that would allow us to develop
policies with greater detail and specificity.
I also bring what I believe is a proven ability to put aside my
viewpoint in order to help build consensus among the diversity of views
I am sure we will encounter over the process.
So if people are willing to have me in a co-chair role, I would be
honored to take it on.
Thanks
avri
