Dear Councillors, The Council needs to appoint five members to the Joint ccNSO/GNSO IDN Working Group. Following people have volunteered: Fahd Batayneh, .jo AP Chamara Disanayake, lk AP Erick Iriarte Ahon, LACTLD (observer) LAC Andrei Kolesnikov, .ru EU Han Chuan Lee, .sg AP Yeo Yee Ling, .my AP Doron Shikmoni, .il AP Jian Zhang, .cn AP The Charter (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/jiwg-charter.pdf) doesn't define what the regional balance should look like. However, as there is a clear overrepresentation in volunteers from the AP region, the Council needs to decide on who of the volunteers can become full members of the working group. Please, let me have your thoughts on this preferably by this Friday, 16th October. Thanks, Gabi
