If Inet is a creature of ICANN then we, as CS overall should be concerned since ICANN is not CS and may, because of its activities and mandate have its own interests which it may be concerned to pursue in this context as with others. If Inet is rather more linked to I* then clearly we should not be passing our nominations through a body organically linked to one of the other stakeholder groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Mike <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> bestbits-request@lists.bestbits.net [mailto:bestbits-request@lists.bestbits.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jeremy Malcolm<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, December 27, 2013 9:48 PM<br><b>To:</b> parminder<br><b>Cc:</b> William Drake; Governance; Carlos A.
