Now here's one where I agree with Steve. --MM

Finally, I will take this opportunity to repeat IPC's recommendation, contained 
in its September 18 submission (and detailed in previous correspondence), that 
whenever the new system is brought into force, the first election be held 
within the non-contracted parties House.  The simple reason for this is that, 
at present, both seats #13 and 14 are held by persons who are employed by, act 
as agent for, or receive compensation from an ICANN-accredited registry or 
registrar.  Thus, under the "exclusivity language," as your memo refers to it, 
the first vacancy would have to be filled by a person who did not fit this 
description.  It is more appropriate for the non-contracted parties House to 
make that choice.
