[Rt4-whois] Chair nominations invited for the WHOIS Review Team

[Emily Taylor]

Dear all

I agree with the points made by Kim with regard to Kathy Kleiman's expertise with regard to the WHOIS, her relevant experience within the ICANN environment, as well as her personal qualities.  I would like to second Kim's proposal that Kathy Kleiman be Chair of the WHOIS Review Team.

I would also like to echo Kim's positive comments about Wednesday's call.  I look forward to working with this group over the coming year.

Kind regards

Emily

Kathy has been involved in the ICANN world from its inception and has significant experience in the industry and the WHOIS issues.  She was one of the co-chairs of a special Whois conference which took place in conjunction with the 2005 ICANN meeting and tried to educate and inform the stakeholders, objectively, of the different views on WHOIS ranging from law enforcement to public interest groups.  Kathy understands the issues that are of concern to each of the major constituencies of ICANN and can, as she has shown in the past for many sensitive issues, guide the discussions and resolutions to an outcome that is acceptable to all parties involved.  In light of that, I submit that Kathy's proven credibility, expertise, skills, integrity and sense of fairness will give all of us the assurance that no one group will receive preferential treatment, but all will be on equal footing.
