Hi Stephen.. I think that anyone who is brave enough to hold the pen deserves an appropriate title (other than penholder!). I have no disagreements with your present status - whatever it is - and responding on our behalf :-) And thank you for the clarification of the process.

Hi Maureen,
I am not “chair” of the ECA; we’ve never organized ourselves formally. Informally, I have “held the pen” so to speak, and thus in continuing in that role, I will execute a letter to the ICANN Corporate Secretary confirming the appointment of Akinori Maemura to Seat 10.
If you or any other ECA member has an issue with my continued lead role with regards to correspondence between the ECA and ICANN, please let me know.
Best Regards,
Stephen Deerhake

Dear Stephen
What is the process? As the Chair, do you formally accept this notification on our behalf? Is there anything that we need to do?
Regards
Maureen

Dear Empowered Community Administration,
As required under Section 7.2 of the ICANN Bylaws, please accept this letter as formal notification from the Address Supporting Organization (ASO) that Address Council of the ASO (ASO AC) has re-appointed Akinori Maemura (Asia Pacific region) to Seat 10 on the ICANN Board of Directors.
On behalf of the ASO, I ask that the Empowered Community confirm its Designation of Mr. Akinori Maemura to the Board. Maemura’s term is scheduled to begin at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting in November 2019, Montreal.
Thank you,
