Subject: Candidates for the GNSO WT 5 Co-Leader (DISCUSSION PERIOD)

All,

As discussed on our last call, Avri, Cheryl and I have asked each of the candidates for the GNSO Co-Leader position on Work Track 5 (GNSO Co-Leader) if they would object to public disclosure of their names and expressions of interest for the position. I am happy to report that each of the candidates have agreed. In addition, we received one additional candidate since our last meeting. Nominations for candidates are now closed.

The four candidates for the GNSO Co-Leader position are (in alphabetical order):

Ching Chiao
Carlos Raul Gutierrez
Greg Shatan
Martin Sutton

I have attached each of their expressions of interest. By the publication of these names, the leadership of the SubPro PDP Working Group is kicking off a discussion period on the candidates. Keeping in mind ICANN’s standards of expected behavior, questions and comments about the candidates may now be posted. If you have a question for one or more particular candidates, please make sure that you include the words “QUESTION FOR _________” in the subject or QUESTION FOR ALL CANDIDATES. This is not required, but will help us keep track of all the questions so that we can make sure that they are answered.

Finally, as discussed, it is our intention as a leadership team (The Co-Leaders of the full working group along with the WT 1-4 co-leaders) to discuss our recommendation on our next call scheduled for Monday, October 9^th based on the discussions, comments and questions on this list.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
