Since there are multiple GNSO Council Positions up for election I would support 
us nominating both Sam and Klaus for elections, I ask that Klaus reconsider his 
position. We do not have to choose just one NPOC member to run, I feel that 
Klaus has had a very short tenure at the Council and his level of contribution 
and comfort will increase in this second term.

As for Sam's nomination, I agree that this year has been tough but at the same 
time there are opportunities that should be seized. My only concern is that we 
will lose our Policy Committee Chair if Sam is elected and should therefore 
appoint a Policy Committee Vice Chair in order to ensure our policy committee 
is sufficiently beefed up and to facilitate a smooth transition if necessary.

Looking forward to further discussion and consideration of these points.

Regards

Cintra Sooknanan

Dear NPOC Friends

Greetings. I am honored to receive the nominations for a second turn as GNSO 
councilor, but I feel that it would be better this time that I am not standing 
and that Sam should take my place. Sam, with his strategic Vision and Mission 
is what the GNSO needs and I would like to put all my energy in developing NPOC 
and the voice of the NGO's and end users in IG and ICANN. I think I we are 
wasting talent by not sending Sam to the GNSO and also by me not concentrating 
working with you on the practical aspects of real stakeholder engagement. Sam 
is the better councilor as he will be the better ICANN Board member, (I have 
not given up on this for a long time yet, whatever the NCSG says and does!)

In the hope that you can agree with this vision for the short term future.

Yours

Klaus
