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

[Kathy Kleiman]

Dear Kim and the WHOIS Review Team,

I am honored to be nominated as Chair of this Team, and if elected, I
would be pleased to serve. My warm thanks to Kim for the nomination, and
James, Emily, Sharon and Lynn for their endorsement. As I mentioned at
the end of our call, we are a great group for the challenging work
ahead, and I am very impressed by the range of experiences and expertise
we bring together. 

 

I would like to recommend that we also elect a Vice Chair. With the many
meetings ahead, by telephone and in person, it will be good to have a
Vice-Chair provide continuity of leadership and assist with the duties
of the Chair. 

 

For this position, I would like to nominate Emily Taylor. Emily served
as the Director of Legal and Policy for Nominet (.UK) from 2000 to 2009.
There she led the creation of Nominet's WHOIS policy, working closely
with law enforcement and privacy regulators, as well as other internal
and external stakeholders. Emily represents the ccNSO on our Review Team
and also served as Director of Counsel for European Top Level Domain
Registries (CENTR). She is intricately familiar with the complexity of
the issues represented by the Whois from a ccTLD perspective, and brings
a wealth of experience in the challenges of bottom-up, consensus policy
processes in this area.

 

Best wishes,

 

Kathy Kleiman

Director of Policy

Team

 

All: 

Thank you very much for a very fruitful and productive call on
Wednesday.  I thought it went exceptionally well considering that many
of us do not know each other at all.    

In line with one of our agenda items for next week, I would like to
nominate Kathy Kleiman to be the chair of this committee.  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. 

I am looking forward to speaking with all of you again next week. 

Best wishes, 

Kim

Dear Review Team members,

This is a gentle reminder about a key aspect brought up at our first
conference call- nominations for the role of Chair are very welcome
indeed! Please consider volunteering yourself - or nominating one of
your team colleagues. Initiatives in this regard will be most
appreciated!

Thanks in advance - and wishing you all a nice weekend.

Best regards

Olof
