RE: [gnso-thickwhois-dt] Chair

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I am an observer to this group and this is not a personal comment on Marika or 
anyone else on policy staff, but I personally believe it would be a bad 
precedent to set to have ICANN policy staff serve as a chair of a policy 
working group.   

If you would like, we can take this issue up with the GNSO Council.  Until 
then, I would recommend finding at least a temporary chair from the group of 
volunteers.

This seems like a good solution to me.

Dear All,

I agree with the nomination of Marika.

After all, from my little experience, the goal of a drafting team is to create 
the guidelines for the future working group, in accordance with Icann rules.

I guess Marika knows them better that any other.


Best regards.

Frederic
