Dear WG members,
Further to the below, again, I am honored to be nominated for this role by Paul McGrady, a person I hold in high esteem.
I have seen the emails Phil, Kathy, and also J Scott (whose role has been vacated) submitted to this WG, and in that same spirit would like to convey the following for your consideration:
I have been involved in ICANN-related matters for over a decade now (which is hard even for me to believe!) and over that time consider myself privileged to have gotten to know many very smart and dedicated friends, and to have participated in interesting and important ICANN policy discussions.
In terms of working with diverse groups such as this WG, my current job requires communication and coordination across sectors (e.g., HR, administration, finance, IT), as well as participation in the ICANN multistakeholder processes on a number of files. Particularly in assisting on a ³Specification 13² to the ICANN Registry Agreement, my immediately previous job (at new gTLD consultancy Valideus) required communication, understanding, and negotiation with all ICANN Stakeholder Groups. Each of these represent forms of consensus building.
Balance, neutrality, and inclusiveness underpin our (Secretariat) mission at WIPO; I also consider myself richer for having worked, for over a decade now, with a diverse range of colleagues with different backgrounds, nationalities, languages, ways-of-working, and viewpoints. In my private practice days before getting involved in domain names, our clients (mostly non-profits such as churches and charities) ranged from very small to global.
I participated in a few prior ICANN ³working groups² and also in many more policy discussions (e.g., during the various Applicant Guidebook iterations). I also consider myself practical and solution-oriented, and as one example, I am proud of the work that went into the mostly paperless ³eUDRP² that makes the UDRP process more efficient (not to mention environmentally friendly) while preserving important due process aspects.
I believe the work of this group is important not only to the ICANN community, but all DNS stakeholders to bring balance and to assist in trust of the DNS. I would be honored to contribute to this important work.
Brian

Dear Phil, all,
Thanks for the nomination, and vote of confidence. I am sorry I haven¹t been able reply earlier. I am in principle willing and able to assist here, and am in the process of undertaking a few internal discussions/clearances.
I apologize that this will take some time still, but I will be able to confirm by COB next Thursday -- which as we are still meeting in subteams this week, I hope is OK.
For now, best regards,
Brian

Thanks Paul.
Before the WG goes further in considering this nomination we first need to know whether Brian accepts it. Hopefully we will hear from him on that soon.
Best, Philip

Thank you Julie.
I nominate Brian Beckham of WIPO. Although I believe WIPO sits with the GAC and not with any particular constituency, I know that Brian has all the requisite expertise in the RPMs to serve as an excellent co-Chair.
Best,
Paul

Dear Working Group members,
Per the message below and the discussions during the RPM PDP WG meetings at ICANN62 (see attached notes) this a reminder that we are seeking nominations for the position of the third Co-Chair to assist in the administration of the WG¹s large and complex agenda and encourage members to immediately begin consideration of volunteering or nominating someone else.
As noted in the message and for your guidance, please see below the relevant sections of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines on how Working Group leaders are selected. Note that holding an election is not mandatory. It is up to the Working Group to determine whether and how it wishes to appoint an additional Chair. In addition, although (as noted below) the GNSO Council must confirm the appointment via its consent agenda, in the meantime, if the Working Group agrees on an additional chair, he/she can begin serving as an interim appointee.

Dear Working Group members,
On behalf of Heather Forrest, Chair of the GNSO Council, Kathy and Philip, Co-Chairs of the RPM Working Group, we are informing you that J. Scott has decided to resign as Co-Chair effective Friday, 02 March. We are all very grateful for J. Scott¹s dedication and thoughtful leadership of this Working Group since its inception.
At this time we are asking Working Group members to consider the importance for this group to continue to have a third Co-Chair to assist in the administration of its large and complex agenda and encourage members to immediately begin consideration of volunteering or nominating someone else. We also would like to suggest that the Working Group could reserve time during our face-to-face meetings on Saturday, 10 March at ICANN61, to discuss the Co-Chair selection process; based on our recent survey these will be the full WG meetings with the greatest member participation.
For your guidance, please see below the relevant sections of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines on how Working Group leaders are selected. Note that holding an election is not mandatory. It is up to the Working Group to determine whether and how it wishes to appoint an additional Chair. In addition, although (as noted below) the GNSO Council must confirm the appointment via its consent agenda, in the meantime, if the Working Group agrees on an additional chair, he/she can begin serving as an interim appointee.
We look forward to hearing from the Working Group on how best to proceed.
Best regards, Mary, Ariel, Berry and Julie

2.1.4.2 Election of the WG Leaders
Unless a Chair has already been named by the Chartering Organization, normally a Chair will be selected at the first meeting of the WG. Until that time, the Chartering Organization¹s liaison may fulfill the role of interim Chair. A Working Group may elect to have Co-Chairs and Vice-Chairs. Under extraordinary circumstances, ICANN staff may be requested to perform administrative co- ordination of the WG until such time a Chair can be appointed. Once selected, a Working Group Chair will need to be confirmed by the Chartering Organization (CO). The newly elected Chair will act on a provisional basis until the Chartering Organization has confirmed the appointment. If there are any objections to the selected Chair, the CO will conduct a vote to establish whether there is sufficient support for the selected Chair according to the voting procedures of the CO. If not, the Working Group will be requested to reconsider their choice for Chair and return to the CO with a new proposal. In the unlikely event that the selected Chair is rejected by the CO, the CO must articulate its reason for the rejection and the WG must be able to ask for reconsideration of the decision.
Section 2.2: A suggested procedure to conduct elections may be: Nominations or self-nominations; Statements of qualifications from candidates, which sets forth the qualifications, qualities and experience that they possess that will serve the particular WG; Vote by simple majority; Notification of and subsequent confirmation by the Chartering Organization of results of actions².
