I would strongly support that option.. Ken Stubbs Bruce Tonkin wrote:

Hello All,

Please note that my current term as GNSO Council chair, expires on 3 Dec 2006.

From: http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-21dec05.shtml

"Decision 1: Bruce Tonkin elected as GNSO Council chair for the period 4 January 2006 to 3 December 2006."

My apologies for not remembering to check this earlier.

Given this is a week away, I am not sure how the Council would like to handle the election.

One option would be for the Council to appoint me during a Council meeting in Sao Paulo as an interim chair for a week, while we go through the formal process of calling for nominations etc.

Any comments/suggestions?

Thanks, Bruce Tonkin

Good for an interim period, as much as needed but less than one month for the election process to be completed. Mawaki --- Bruce Tonkin <Bruce.Tonkin@melbourneit.com.au> wrote:
