Please note the following email string regarding the AoC A&T RT. As you are aware, the GNSO endorsed Willie Currie for this RT as selected by the NCSG. Unfortunately, Willie had to withdraw from the RT because he accepted a government position. As you can see below, the NCSG has requested that " Carlos Affonso Pereira de Souza be installed into the ATRT as a replacement for Willie" and Peter Dengate Thrush requests that the GNSO endorse Carlos. To facilitate this happening as soon as possible, I would like to ask if any Councilors object to endorsing Carlos as Willie's replacement. If so, please communicate your objection not later than Wednesday, 6 October, otherwise I will assume that the GNSO endorses Willie. As always, I encourage each of you to consult with your respective organizations as appropriate. Thanks for your prompt consideration of this. Chuck PS - Please note a correction from Avri. The following sentence should say Carlos and not Willie: " Willie was a GNSO Council member for the NCUC in the past." -----Original Message----- From: Peter Dengate Thrush [mailto:peter.dengatethrush@icann.org] Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 11:31 PM To: Avri Doria Cc: Gomes, Chuck; Heather.Dryden@ic.gc.ca Subject: Re: Replacement for Willie Currie on the ATRT Dear Avri The formalities appear to be that Heather and I need to consider this nomination and if appropriate make the appointment. The Icann site is down, precluding my checking the AoC terms, but a precursor (from memory) is that a nominee need to be endorsed by the SO forwarding them. Assuming that can be processed, I see no reason why I wouldn't appoint Carlos as soon as that is confirned. regards Peter Dengate Thrush Chairman of the Board of Directors, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers +64 4 4998959 (DDI) +64 21499888 (mobile) +64 4 4710672 (fax) On Oct 2, 2010, at 9:28 AM, Avri Doria wrote:
Dear all,
The NCSG has discussed several candidates and had decided to request
that Carlos Affonso Pereira de Souza, be installed into the ATRT as a replacement for Willie Currie. Carlos has communicated with Willie and understands the requirements of the task he is signing up for. As I understand it, they have further conversations planned.
Willie was a GNSO Council member for the NCUC in the past. He is
currently a Professor of Business Law in Brazil. Further information of his activities can be found at the following website:

I ask that whatever process is necessary for this appointment to be
approved be done in time for Carlos to attend the upcoming ATRT face to face meeting if it is at all possible.
Thank you,
Avri Doria Chair, Executive Committee NCSG
