This is a misunderstanding by Sally, then. :-)  We are putting forward
names for the December 12 and 13 meeting not main in response to Fadi's
suggestion, but rather because it is our expectation that the High Level
Panel should be balanced as between the stakeholder groups, and as such
we are entitled to be more evenly represented on the High Level Panel
than we are now, with representatives whom we, rather than ICANN, choose.

Agreed that that is a separate and equally important issue, and a
separate point that have made is that despite claims to the contrary, it
is now clear that 1net is not to be coordinating stakeholder
representation for the Brazil meeting.  So we will not be nominating
people in response to any call that 1net makes, but rather liaising
directly with the Brazilian organisers in this regard.
