<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=3>Let me
make a suggestion here.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=3>If the
caucus can declare a coordinator by acclamation (or consensus or whatever set of
words fit), then it can do so for co-coordinators.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In fact, co-coordinators would seem most
suited to the circumstances.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p><FONT face=Arial

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial
size=3>Co-coordinators are in the (brief) tradition of the caucus.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If one person is to be selected in a
special way, certainly two can be selected.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>With this as the tradition it seems we
even need the balance of co-coordinators, if there is to be special consensus
selection.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p><FONT face=Arial
size=3> </FONT></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=3>But far
and away most important, there is already a proposal before the caucus,
requesting two people to take the helm at this special moment:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Avri and Bill.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p><FONT face=Arial

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=3>I am
traveling and unable to search my archive. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But I know there is one post already,
asking Bill and Avri to step forward.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I am all but certain there is more than one post.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The proposition is on the table, and the
suggestion here only reminds us.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p><FONT face=Arial
size=3> </FONT></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=3>Then the
caucus does not have immediately to adopt provisions such as staggered terms or
nominating committees and elections.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We see, in posts just the last little bit, there are natural questions
raised to discuss these matters.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Instead, Avri and Bill can have a productive dialog between themselves,
and with the caucus, to reach considered conclusions.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p><FONT face=Arial
size=3> </FONT></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=3>For
instance, continuity for the caucus seems to turn more on cohesion in the group,
than on mechanisms such as staggered terms.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But such structural arrangements might
still be helpful (or not).<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Two
people, to whom the caucus has already turned, can see that discussion through,
to an effective conclusion.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If
there turns out to be a need to stagger remaining terms of these two consensus
coordinators, that can be sorted out too.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p><FONT face=Arial
size=3> </FONT></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=3>Likewise
the selection process to be used later can get suitable consideration. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But especially, a host of other matters
that shape cohesion and effectiveness will have the benefit of two whom the
caucus has already turned to.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As
discussed by others, this is a special time when the caucus might outfit itself
to be an effective partner in the IGF and other, related governance
pursuits.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The caucus can, and it
seems is well advised to, take advantage of the leadership of two it has already
identified.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Arial size=3>Then Avri
especially is due very special thanks, for bootstrapping such a desirable
outcome.</FONT></P>
