Hi Rob,
1. How much time can you dedicate to being the Chair of the constituency ?
This is a very interesting question. The reason this question is interesting is this question was the only one that required thinking with regards to my accepting the nomination for this post. I have as you are all aware spent a large number of hours working towards various issues that affect the community. I welcome this opportunity to now do so in an official capacity and therefore before I accepted I wanted to make sure that I can give justice to this post if elected Jordynn had the good fortune to obtain insight about the time commitments for this post from Elana in person. I have, in order to come to a conclusion, spoken to Elana via phone, and to others who are currently in the ex-com as well as others who have served in the ex-com in the past in various capacities. I spent 3 days simply determining the responsibilities that this task brings in. In the end I realised that the amount of time I would be required to spend both during normal times as well as peak times (before ICANN meetings) is not much more than I already spend in relation to Registrar issues. I believe several hours a week are sufficient to carry out the role envisioned (with higher pressures during meeting times) and I have the ability to dedicate those hours without any issues
2. How many ICANN meetings have you travelled to in the past ?
All meetings in 2004 (will be at Cape Town too). In the past before that I have travelled to every alternate meeting. My decision of attending a meeting was entirely based on whether it is required for me and my company to do so, and not based on funds availability or time issues.
3. Are you able to travel to all of the future ICANN meetings ?
YES indeed I am able to travel to all future ICANN meetings. I do not understand the exact question here and therefore I will answer by stating that - I have the funds, the inclination and the time (especially since there is prevalent braodband connectivity at all meetings ;) ) to attend all meetings. - Bhavin
