Thanks for the reply Andrei and for the expressions of respect.
I am fully aware that everything I do raises suspicions in some people’s minds
and have lived with that for years.
I appreciate you referring to me as one of the ‘internet fathers’
but I confess that I am not. My experience and expertise is in the ICANN
community and I cannot be credited with anything regarding the Internet except
as it relates to ICANN policy efforts.

Yes, I believe this matters. Because the world around us is not
as friendly as our community and this is not a matter of person’s interests-
commercial or non commercial. I’m talking about perception. Like this
“Chuck is a great guy, but he works for Verisign” – do you believe that
it was never said behind your back? I know that you working in the internet so
many years and your reputation is unquestionable. gNSO members also know
it. I respect you and I was saying this openly: you are one of the internet
fathers. But the politics is unfair. Again, don’t take it personally guys.
I learned that there are some themes which are taboo in gNSO. Sorry
to violate one of this.

Thanks for the comment Andrei. With all due respect to your
second of Olga’s nomination, I have some questions that come from my own
personal curiosity: Does it really matter whether the interests of a person are
commercial or non-commercial? Does the fact that one person’s interests
are commercial and another’s are non-commercial make one’s interests more
problematic than the other’s? In my opinion, the key is whether a person
is able to perform leadership responsibilities in a neutral and fair manner
regardless of their interests.
In my view, both Olga and Stéphane have demonstrated that they
can perform leadership responsibilities in a neutral and fair manner.

I completely support this choice and would like to second Olga’s
nomination. Don’t know if it is necessary or not, but this comes from my
believe that at least for one year Chair must set far from commercial groups.
Best regards,
