Fully agreed with Jeff and others -- the general principle of a WG group
leader/chair for *ANY* WG group in ICANN is to make sure he/she stays
neutral, understands the member's interest -- by reminding the members to
update SOI from time to time, and facilitates discussion in which loud
minority, cold majority, members who join the work regularly or
sporadically, etc., can weigh in as they wish.

The co-leaders should form a leadership team that is able to move things
forward instead of making authoritative, pre-conceived decisions.
Pre-conceived decisions are bad because only small selected groups or
people gain interests, and they are definitely not healthy for the
long-term prosperity for our community and industry built around it.

Anne, I still appreciate your question and the opportunity to reply -- if
you're asking my responses to any pre-conceived position on geo names /
TLDs, my brief answers are:
1) No I do not have any pre-conceived position other than what's
implemented on the AGP.
2) Like many others on the list, I have some professional experiences as a
gTLD registry operator / ccTLD registry operator / new gTLD applicant /
corporate registrar / digital brand consultant. These experiences helped
shape what I know about a particular topic, like IDNs and GeoTLDs where one
can still find rooms for improvement. I look forward to our collective
efforts to make things easier for the applicants in subsequent round(s).
3) You can be assured that, if selected, I will make it clear when I speak
as a co-leader role (representing GNSO's interest) or my personal capacity.

Hope it helps. Thanks again for the opportunity.

Best regards,

Ching
