Dear Councillors, One of the topics on the agenda for next week’s Council call is the approval of the DSSA Working Group Volunteers (see http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/agenda-council-25jan11-en.pdf, item 4). We had 10 volunteers & statements of interest in total: 1. Roy Arends, .uk 2. Sean Copeland, .vi 3. Jay Daley, .nz 4. Chamara Disanayake, .lk 5. Mark Elkins, .za 6. Jaques Latour, .ca 7. Bill Manning, USC/ISI 8. Takayasu Matsuura, .jp 9. Jörg Schweiger, .de 10. Sean Shen, .cn We also had an observer request from Wim Degezelle, CENTR. As it takes some time to read through the volunteer’s statements of interest, I’m attaching a compilation here, so that you have enough time to prepare. Kind regards, Gabi
