agreed, avri, this group is pretty lively, and as a chair you may even find it a bit too lively at times - but it's all good. however, there is more to gnso than the council; there still is a wider community out there to reach out to, new resources and ideas to tap into. by default, it can be expected that a person new to an office brings about a renewed spirit - not necessarily a revolution! this has not started with you (and on that account your predecessor is more than deserving), neither will it end with you, but I just hope the council under your "chairwomanship" will seize the potential window of opportunities born by this election. good luck, Mawaki --- Avri Doria <avri@acm.org> wrote:
Hi,
Thanks.
I am not so sure about a revival. I think we are already a pretty lively group. But I do hope that we continue making progress both in our policy development efforts and in our abilities at reaching consensus or at least super-majorities as often as we possibly can. And, if I can help in those processes and in the general area of working together nicely, I will be happy.
thanks again,
a.

I wholeheartedly concur with Philip. Congratulations, Avri! I wish you every success, and have no doubt your imprint will bring about some sort of revival to the whole GNSO and in the ICANN policies!
