Dear members of the ccNSO Council, Since the ccNSO Council call last Thursday/Friday, the Regional Organisations have considered the opportunity that you provided to us to appoint a candidate for the ccWG on the IANA stewardship transition. While we appreciated the opportunity provided to us, the timeframe did not allow us to come to a conclusion. We do not feel comfortable developing a process that would be breaching the same principles that some of us expressed a concern with earlier last week. It would be wrong that while advocating transparency and openness in the ccNSO process, we would ignore those in our own. As a way forward the ROs would endorse the appointment of the 5 candidates that have received the most votes in the ccNSO process. We will collectively and/or individually nominate one or more observers to the group at a later stage. Thank you again for the opportunity, there was just not enough time to perform the task to a standard that we hold. On behalf of the Regional Organisations, Regards, Peter cid:image001.jpg@01CCF0BC.D352D240 Peter Van Roste General Manager CENTR - Belliardstraat 20, 1040 Brussels, Belgium tel +32 2 627 5550 - fax +32 2 627 5559 <http://www.centr.org> www.centr.org - twitter: centrnews
