Seems like a good idea. Do it, Bruce. Marc On Wed, 22 Dec 2004, at 15:07 [=GMT+1100], Bruce Tonkin wrote:
Hello All,
Unfortunately Brian Darville has had to resign from chairing WHOIS TF3 due to other commitments. I thank Brian for his efforts in chairing the TF3 and working to identify a consensus position.
It seemed that there was some progress in discussions involving the whole Council in Cape Town.
If the Council agrees, I am prepared to chair a couple of extra meetings in January 2005 to get some agreement around some high-level recommendations (similar to those developed so far by WHOIS TF1/2), and then leave the Task Force to elect a new chair and flesh out the detail of recommendations in a report suitable for public comment and eventually formal approval as a consensus recommendation.
Regards, Bruce Tonkin

Dear Bruce:
I am writing to formally notify you that I am resigning from participation in Task Force 3, including my role as Chair of the Task Force. Due to other professional commitments I have undertaken recently, I cannot continue to participate in the Task Force.
I had originally planned that my participation in the Task Force would end in October 2004. I stayed on through December in an effort to reach consensus on the narrow recommendations the Task Force had been considering this fall. However, we were unable to reach a consensus. At this point, I believe it will be fruitful for the IPC to appoint another Task Force representative who can more fully participate in the Task Force, including traveling to the various ICANN meetings.
I appreciate your assisting the Task Force this Fall, and wish you and the other Task Force members a swift resolution of the Task Force's remaining work.
Sincerely,
Brian Darville Oblon, Spivak
