<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'>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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Anyway, a couple of things to get the ball rolling.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Firstly, I note <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Parminder</st1:PersonName>’s
reference to being ready to stand down now. I have in private email asked <st1:PersonName
w:st="on">Parminder</st1:PersonName> whether he would consider staying on until
after <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Hyderabad</st1:City></st1:place>,
so that I as a new Co-ordinator have the benefit of his experience during this
year’s IGF. So my intention, if <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Parminder</st1:PersonName>
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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'>I would like to suggest for your advice that <st1:PersonName
w:st="on">David Goldstein</st1:PersonName> 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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'>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 <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Parminder</st1:PersonName>, 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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:12.0pt'>I’ll put out some thoughts under separate
headings on a few issues in the near future. I certainly support <st1:PersonName
w:st="on">Parminder</st1:PersonName>’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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
