As I communicated on the WG list several weeks ago, when I accepted the position as chair of the GNSO RDS PDP WG, I requested that there be three vice chairs, one each from the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group, the Commercial Stakeholder Group and the Registrars Stakeholder Group and noted that I would cover the Registries Stakeholder Group (RySG) on the leadership team. My intent was to ensure that there would be one leader from each of the four GNSO stakeholder groups so that the views of each group could be represented, not only in the WG, but also on the leadership team. As I think everyone knows, when I retired from Verisign, I ceased being a delegate to the Registries Stakeholder Group, so I suggested to the WG and to the Registries that it would be desirable in my opinion that we add someone from the RySG.

This week, Paul Diaz, RySG Chair, informed me that the RySG nominated Marc Anderson to sit on the leadership team from the RySG. Because each GNSO WG chooses its own leaders that are then approved by the GNSO Council, I am submitting the following two questions to all WG members:

1. Does any WG member object to adding a fourth vice chair to the RDS PDP WG? (If so, please explain your concerns.) 2. Assuming there are no objections to question 1, does any WG member object to Marc Anderson serving as a vice chair on the RDS PDP WG? (If so, please provide your rationale.)

Please communicate any objections you have not later than end of the day on Wednesday, 28 February. If there are no objections received by that time, Marc will be added to the leadership team.

For those who may be new to the WG, Marc’s Statement of Interest can be found at https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Marc+Anderson+SOI . Note that he has been an active member of the WG since its inception over two years ago.

Chuck, congratulations and thanks for your tireless work. Everyone, I don't have any objection to adding Marc Anderson as a fourth VP, but this also seems like a good time to take stock of where are and consider refocusing our effort. The crux our dilemma is the whois system is disconnected from reality. The account holder supplies the names and contact information for the registrant, admin, tech, etc., but these roles are not defined and have no hard and fast meaning. Accordingly, detailed discussions about whether this information should be public or who should have access to this information is impossible to determine. We need some people in the leadership team who understand the challenge and are oriented toward examining the problem from first principles. This is what the Board had in mind when it passed its resolution in November 2012 that resulted in the Expert Working Group. To repeat, this is not the time to simply replace Chuck and/or add a fourth vice chair. This should also be the time to recalibrate the direction of the group, and to seek the involvement of people who can put together a proposal that is soundly based on fundamentals and addresses the needs and interests of the multiple constituencies. Thanks, Steve On Fri, Feb 23, 2018 at 5:04 PM, Chuck <consult@cgomes.com> wrote:
