RE: [registrars] Nominations for Chair.
Hello Bob, I would like to start with thanking Elana for her hard work and valued contribution in her role as chair. I also wish her well in her new job. I believe that Jordyn Buchanan from Register.com will take over as Register.com's representative in the registrars constituency. Jordyn has served on the GNSO Council, and is currently co-chair of the combined WHOIS task force 1 and 2. He is well regarded within the GNSO. If Jordyn is willing and has the time available, I am happy to nominate Jordyn Buchanan for chair. Regards, Bruce Tonkin

Dear Registrars:
I bring sad news, Elana has accepted a position which will take her away from us.
I can only describe her tenure as Stupendous. I have enjoyed working for her. She has been objective and fair, has run well organized meetings.
Sadly, I am calling for nominations for Chair of the RC.
Regards, BobC, Secretary.
Bruce, Much as I'd like to see a technical person take on a leadership role in the RC, the last set of issues -- WLS and the budget -- have brought to light a tension between large registrars, some of whom either sat out the WLS issue (as did RCOM) or who approved the expansion of "registry service" (NSI), and some of whom took positions on how the pie was to be carved that were kinder to their bottom lines than to the continued function of the RC. I hope to see candidates from outside of the few large registrars compete for the ex-com spot. Eric

Bruce, Though I have known and respect Jordyn, being the Register.com RC rep does not immediately qualify one as RC Chair material. The successful demonstration of leadership does, and for a recent demonstration in budget negotiations I'd like to nominate Bhavin Turakhia, Founder, Chairman & CEO, Directi IMHO, someone whom understands our community and can develop consensus is the kind of leader we need. -rick On Thu, 26 Aug 2004, Bruce Tonkin wrote:
