NCSG dwarfs in size most other networks in this space, operates in a transparent and accountable manner, and has ongoing working relations with other stakeholder groups and ICANN, so one would think he’d be an obvious choice.</div><div apple-content-edited="true" style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;"><br></div><div apple-content-edited="true" style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;">Best,</div><div apple-content-edited="true" style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;"><br></div><div apple-content-edited="true" style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;">Bill</div><br style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;"><div style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;"><div>On Dec 4, 2013, at 8:57 PM, Jeremy Malcolm <<a href="mailto:jeremy@ciroap.org">jeremy@ciroap.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;">On 4 Dec 2013, at 11:37 pm, Carolina Rossini <<a href="mailto:carolina.rossini@gmail.com">carolina.rossini@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Robin Gross?
