Jeff I would suggest that we are ALL biased in some way or other on most subjects, this topic included... the aim is therefore (for any meaningful and successful public input into a policy development process) is to ensure, to the best of one's ability, that there is a balance and wide spread choice of opinion which then becomes an aggregation of our biased contribution(s) into an agreeable outcome (of course we can always agree to disagree:-) CLO -----Original Message----- From: jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com [mailto:jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com] Sent: Monday, 26 November 2007 5:25 PM To: cheryl@hovtek.com.au; 'Danny Younger'; 'Roberto Gaetano'; 'At-Large Worldwide' Cc: gnso-liaison@atlarge-lists.icann.org; 'alac-internal' Subject: Re: [Gnso-liaison] [At-Large] Summary for New gTLDs Workshop at ICANN LA Meeting Cheryl and all, With the exception of Danny and myself of you list, none of others you listed below would be sufficiently non-bias enough to be appropriate candadates.

No problem Danny, I fully understand, and we again need to take the time on this specific New gTLD's topic, to thank you for the excellent foundation work you did on this in such short order before LA...

So the floor is open for someone to offer themselves of to take on the role as Task Leader and my preference is that this person be an active and knowledgeable member of At-Large with the list I circulated yesterday we should be spoilt for choice, but we all only volunteer as much of our time as we can, so please step forward ASAP Erik? Sebastien?? Vittorio??? Gurumurthy?? Anyone???

Hello Cheryl,

While I appreciate the recommendation to serve as Task Leader on the new gTLDs WG, I must pass on this opportunity.

My decision is motivated by (1) the current need to deal with ongoing revisions to the RAA to better protect the registrant community and (2) the ongoing need to establish a GNSO Constituency for Registrants.

As both of these above endeavors will occupy my full attention in the coming months, it would be best if you could delegate the Task Leader opportunity to another.

best wishes, Danny
