Paul,
I strongly support Nick's candidature.
As the ccNSO does not take a view and does not have a position on the topic at hand, a neutral and very experienced person like Nick (who also has experience with ccNSO's PDPs as he was a member of the Review Mechanism one, which I vice-chaired) would be ideal from where I am sitting.
Maybe there is a case for two vice chairs here, and as two candidates were from Asia, this would solve the time-zone issue I mentioned in a previous email.

Hi Paul, All
I am happy to volunteer to be Vice Chair for this PDP1.
By way of brief background for those who do not already know me, I am General Counsel for Nominet UK, the ccTLD for the United Kingdom. But I sit across the community as we are also registry operator for a couple of geo gTLDs, and provide gTLD registry services. In terms of interest and experience, I am chair of the ccNSO's DNS Abuse Standing Committee and previously sat on the ccNSO Council for six years. I also sit on the NetBeacon Advisory Council, and of course in my day job have a lot of practical experience of dealing with DNS Abuse (and other abuse more generally).
Happy to speak more in due course.
Best wishes Nick […]
