Aslam, Thank you for your question. I have not really had the opportunity to engage with the Fu School on internet policy matters. I will need to look into ways in which the Fu School and its faculty could be germane to the efforts of WT5. However, I have had some meaningful contact with Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), which has a Cyber Policy initiative, and there may be opportunities for engagement there. It's possible that there would be interesting perspectives arising from interaction with SIPA. Columbia Law School also has some leading thinkers on related matters, such as Tim Wu and Eben Moglen. I also live near New York University, which is another center of relevant thinking. My primary focus, however, would be on engaging the community, examining the issues, seeking common ground and ending with meaningful results. This is not as easy as it sounds, but I look forward to the challenge, and to sharing the burden with others.

QUESTION FOR GREG SHATAN

Given your status as alumni of Columbia Law School and the fact that IP and IT are closely related do you intend to engage with the Columbia Fu School of Computer Engineering alumni in the PDP of WT5?

*From:* Jeff Neuman *Sent:* Sunday, October 1, 2017 4:09 PM *To:* gnso-newgtld-wg@icann.org *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):

1. Ching Chiao 2. Carlos Raul Gutierrez 3. Greg Shatan 4. 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.

Best regards,
