Adam has just reminded me that the caucus nominated Paul Wilson as a
potential MAG member, he also reminded me that APNIC was listed as PS
in WSIS, so, going by our previous actions, we are "fine" with
selecting the DG (CEO) of an I* organisation as a CS rep on the MAG!!

I don't anything about the current ICANN chair, except the few nice
things I have read.  However, if you had asked a few months ago  "Are
you fine with the ICANN chair sitting in for CS", I would have said
"HELL YES, any organisation or group would be lucky to have the
"midwife' of the Internet representing them on any Internet Governance
forum."

Ian's formualtion seems to be the voice of reason here.
