Re: [gnso-ppsc-pdp] FW: Still working to find a meeting time

["J. Scott Evans" <jscottevans@xxxxxxxxx>]

On the issue of a permanent Chair, I would like to publicly go on the record in 
support of Jeff.  Jeff has, so far, done an incredible job of moving this 
process forward in a neutral and transparent manner.  I realize that there was 
some concern raised in Mexico City about a perception issue due to perceived 
conflicts of interest.  Frankly, I think that label could apply to almost 
everyone who is an ACTIVE participant in ICANN working groups.  If this model 
is going to work, we have to have neutral chairs (even though they may have a 
stake in the outcome).  If this concept is flawed, I would argue we need to 
know sooner rather than later.  I trust that Jeff will continue to be neutral 
and impartial (as I hope to be in the WGWT); however, if he cannot be (which I 
sincerely doubt) then we need to know that this concept is flawed NOW, before 
we get too far down the road with these improvements.

In short, I know I don't have a vote, but I would encourage each of you to 
strongly consider Jeff as the Chair of the PDPWT.

Kind regards.

J. Scott Evans

Subject: [gnso-ppsc-pdp] FW: Still working to find a meeting time

 
 
All,
 
I had hoped to have a meeting scheduled for this week to continue the work we 
started, but it looks like due to a number of conflicts, this probably will not 
happen.  Margie/Marika/Glen – can you send out a doodle for next week.   If we 
could try different times on Tuesday and Thursday (the 16th and 18th).  We will 
be circulating around the notes from the meeting last week as well in the next 
day or so.   Finally, please keep in mind that we need to elect a permanent 
chair.  At this point in time no one other than me has come forward, but if 
anyone else is interested, please let the group know before the meeting.
 
Thanks for your patience and sorry for the delay.
 
Best regards,
