<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Ian,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Indeed, it is my great pleasure to work with you as one of co-coordinators of CS Internet Governance Caucus. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>After Renate, I would like to echo your suggestion that CS Internet Governance caucus at this critical juncture needs both Parminder's experienceed leadership as well as your dynamic leadership. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Taking advantage of this opportunity, I thank Parminder for his devoted leadership for this group and extend my best wishes for Ian as new co-coordinators of this group.</div>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Thanks everyone for your best wishes on my election (and expressions of sympathy!) here and in my email. It's not without some trepidation that I take this on – I've observed here long enough to know just how tough a job it will be to co-ordinate, with so many diverse individuals and organizations involved. I can promise that I will try to assist and to work with you all on improving our capacity to have our voices heard.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I think the less obtrusive co-ordinators are, the better things will work. I can learn a ,lot from those who have preceded me .I would just like to work quietly in helping to get consensus, in helping sort out process issues, and in generally strengthening the presence and credibility of this caucus in advancing internet governance issues. </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Anyway, a couple of things to get the ball rolling.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Firstly, I note Parminder's reference to being ready to stand down now. I have in private email asked Parminder whether he would consider staying on until after Hyderabad, so that I as a new Co-ordinator have the benefit of his experience during this year's IGF. So my intention, if Parminder is willing, would be to hold elections for his replacement in January 2009. That gets us into a cycle of an election each calendar year after the IGF meeting rather than rushing in two this year.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">In the meantime, we are long overdue for replacing the Appeals Team. This is a long process involving a NomCom being formed, calling for candidates, and then selecting five new members. If we start now, we should be able to complete this by November. It's at least a two month process if we follow the Charter.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I would like to suggest for your advice that David Goldstein be appointed as the independent non-voting chair for the Appeals Team NomCom.. David, who as you know was the other candidate in co-ordinator elections, has written me a very kind personal note and offered to assist, and as someone involved in the Caucus and with previous NomComs will, I believe, be an excellent person to take on this responsibility.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The charter suggests that the non voting chair should be appointed by the co-ordinators with the advice of the Caucus. I've discussed this with Parminder, who also agrees that we should suggest David's name to the Caucus for this role. Please then consider this suggestion and forward any relevant advice within the next few days so we can get this overdue process underway. Next week we should begin the process of forming a NomCom for this purpose.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I'll put out some thoughts under separate headings on a few issues in the near future. I certainly support Parminder's suggestion as regards seeking a funding base, and also want to suggest a few things as regards process issues, improving the website, and improving our capacity to exchange strongly held and differing viewpoints on issues without resorting to personal attacks. These are some of the priorities I see, and I would welcome email from anyone with any suggestions as to how I can best assist in furthering our objectives. I look forward to working with you all in this role.</span></font></p>
