I appreciate the nominations I have received, and am prepared to accept them, but would also like to suggest that the working group consider a slightly different approach. Let's be candid. If you review the list of participants in this working group, the vast majority of them fall into one of three sectors: intellectual property interests, non-commercial representatives, or registrars. Our challenge is to bring together these three camps, which have divergent (though to some extent overlapping) interests and goals, to make progress on the extensive and complex topics assigned to us. One way to address that challenge might be to assemble a leadership triumvirate consisting of representatives from all three of these groups. That seems to be where we are headed right now. But this approach could also add another administrative layer to our operations that is likely to prove unwieldy, inefficient, and a drain on the finite bandwidth we all bring to this task. An option worth considering would be to select a single chair who is independent of all three of these sectors. Fortunately, with Don Blumenthal, we have a working group member who not only fits that bill, but who also brings significant relevant experience to the role. Most recently, I had the opportunity to serve with Don on the Thick Whois PDP WG, where he took on an important leadership role for one of the most critical subgroups, and did an excellent job, in my opinion. With that context I would like to nominate Don as our chair and to ask fellow Working Group members to consider whether independent leadership, rather than a troika representing the three main tendencies, would be a better way to proceed. I look forward to hearing what others think about this.
