All:

Thank you very much for a very fruitful and productive call on Wednesday. I thought it went exceptionally well considering that many of us do not know each other at all.

In line with one of our agenda items for next week, I would like to nominate Kathy Kleiman to be the chair of this committee. Kathy has been involved in the ICANN world from its inception and has significant experience in the industry and the WHOIS issues. She was one of the co-chairs of a special Whois conference which took place in conjunction with the 2005 ICANN meeting and tried to educate and inform the stakeholders, objectively, of the different views on WHOIS ranging from law enforcement to public interest groups. Kathy understands the issues that are of concern to each of the major constituencies of ICANN and can, as she has shown in the past for many sensitive issues, guide the discussions and resolutions to an outcome that is acceptable to all parties involved. In light of that, I submit that Kathy's proven credibility, expertise, skills, integrity and sense of fairness will give all of us the assurance that no one group will receive preferential treatment, but all will be on equal footing.

I am looking forward to speaking with all of you again next week.

Best wishes,

Kim

This is a gentle reminder about a key aspect brought up at our first conference call– nominations for the role of Chair are very welcome indeed! Please consider volunteering yourself – or nominating one of your team colleagues. Initiatives in this regard will be most appreciated!
Thanks in advance – and wishing you all a nice weekend.
