My observations are that there are five candidates who applied.

There are five positions.

If this was an election (which technically it isn't) then all five would be elected unopposed.

I submit that in taking its decision, Council should take the view that the presumption must be that all five candidates should be selected and appointed to the five open positions UNLESS there is an
obvious lack in any of the candidates that suggest that he (or she) does not have the relevant
criteria AND the work of the group would be adversely affected if he (or she) were appointed.

My view
-----------
Not only do I think that is NOT the case, but positively that we have a group of 5 of the most experienced and wise heads in ccTLD-land.

That being said, all I need now to say is that I propose Council select all five and appoint them to the group.

Dear all,

Please find included the updated selection process,taking into account Lesley’s and Nigel comments.

I suggest we follow the procedure as laid down for this selection process. If need to it will be further refined once this selection process is closed.

In a separate I will inform you on the candidates.
