[npoc] Re: [npoc-voice] Fwd: [liaison6c] Protection of International Olympic Committee (IOC) / Red Cross Names (RCRC) Drafting Team - Recommendations

[Alain Berranger <alain.berranger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear NPOC Colleagues,

So great to see: 1) so much participation!;  2) and unanimous support for
this idea.

It is clear to me that protection for all non-profits is likely to be an
NPOC concensus. However, we need to flush out our exact stance on the issue
and an ad-hoc Working Group approach as suggested by Klaus seems
appropriate. Let me know anyone, if you disagree.

To follow-up on Klaus' suggestion then, I suggest we call for quick
self-nominations of two large and two smaller NFP/NGOs not on the EC +
anybody from the EC that wishes to join - please give your 2 to 3 words
motivation for volunteering. If we have more volunteers than needed, Lori
and I will designate the 4 non-EC members. This requires fast track so we
can announce our position in Toronto when I make my usual NPOC activity
summary to the GNSO Council live.

If you agree, then let's proceed immediately with nominations.

Cheers, Alain
