Hello All, My usual practice when I am not able to chair a meeting, is to hand the chair over to the immediate past chair - Philip Sheppard. I recommend that the Council appoint Philip as the Council member to chair discussions relating to the ICANN Board election, and act as the liaison between the Council and the ICANN staff (in particular the GNSO Secretariat, and the Dan Halloran from the ICANN General Counsel's office) with respect to any election issues. It would be appropriate for the Council to formalise this at the end of the Council meeting scheduled 15 March 2007. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
