Fellow Councilors: I'm writing to report that the RPM Working Group has selected Brian Beckham as an additional Co-Chair of the Working Group via consensus and with one objection from George Kirikos. Per section 2.1.4.2 of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines (https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-30jan18-en.pdf[gnso.icann.org [gnso.icann.org] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_counc...>) , a Working Group Co-Chair will need to be confirmed by the Chartering Organization, which in this case is the GNSO Council. Thus, the RPM PDP Working Group Co-Chairs, Kathy Kleiman and Phil Corwin, and the Liaison to the GNSO Council, Paul McGrady, request that the Council include on its consent agenda for its meeting on 24 May consideration of Brian as RPM PDP Working Group Co-Chair. Thank you for your consideration of this important request. Kind regards, Paul McGrady, RPM PDP Working Group Liaison to the GNSO Council
