<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear all,<br><br>The two nominees have my full support, but again, I have considerable issues with the letter in which their nomination is supposed to be shared with ICANN - in fact so much so that I was wondering whether this was written in jest, to see if someone would pick up on these issues? <br>
<br></div><div>In any case, just in case it wasn't in jest: I do not remember anyone ever claiming that the panel was a 1net panel. It was very clear that it emerged out of ICANN, and though some who are involved in 1net might have been consulted on it to a greater extent than others, that doesn't change this fundamental fact. The letter thus confuses issues, and by doing so, is unnecessarily antagonistic. More importantly, it therefore also gives the panel a weight that not all on this list (and on the IGC list, as far as I could see) feel it deserves - in fact, some are quite clear it does not, and the panel thus should not be sanctified in ways that have not been agreed on. <br>
<br></div><div>There are also a few strange terms being used in the letter. As far as I know, the panel was never named the "CEO's High Level Panel". Also, if someone could guide me to a space where I can find out more about "multi-equal-stakeholderism" and its origins, I'd be grateful - first time I hear about this.<br>

<pre>Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for this.
I have a concern. But first could you please explain who was involved in the selection process, who from which organizations, what criteria considered, who were the candidates considered.
My experience of trying to co-coordinate CS contributions to IG topics for a couple of years during the Tunis phase of WSIS and later involvement with the first couple of years of IGF, this just doesn't sit well with me.

I will address this in the old thread (Re: [bestbits] Formation of a
joint steering Committee - as received). This thread is not for
process concerns, just for comments on the two names.<div class="im"><br>
