Participants!</title></head><body>
<div>Nice to hear from you, Milton.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Here's the scoop:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>1. This is not an NC task force that is composed of
representatives of individual constituencies or is indeed required to
have all constituencies represented. This is a President's Task Force
and I invite individuals to participate as I believe. The Board
resolution that led me to establish this Task Force stated, in part
and in response to my recommendation:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>"<font color="#000000">Whereas, the President has
recommended to the Board the formation of a New TLD Evaluation Process
Planning Task Force chaired by the President and consisting of members
selected with the advice of the Names and Protocol Councils and the
Chairs of the IETF, IAB, and ICANN DNS Root Server System Advisory
Com<font face="Arial">mittee"</font></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">2. I did indeed consult with the NC (and
the other named bodies) and received a list of suggested individuals
from which I was free to pick or choose -- or indeed reject all of
them. There was no requirement that the NC, for example, include
someone from every constituency although in fact the list submitted by
Phil did indeed include someone (actually two people) from every
constituency except for the gTLD Registries (who could not participate
for reasons of potential conflict of interest) and the Registrars.
These were not representatives or delegates, but simply a suggested
list of names in response to my request.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">3, It was (and is) a great list, however,
so</font>, I actually included all of the suggestions in the Task
Force. That included Vany and YJ. Neither has informed me of their
resignation from the Task Force. In fact, at the end of the Accra
meeting, YJ reiterated to me her desire to continue as a member. Thus,
I have no reason to add any more members at this time. I have no
knowledge that either one is "inactive".</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>4. In general, if I do determine that certain members of the Task
Force are no longer participating and that their lack of participation
will have a significant effect on the work of the Task Force, then I
would consider the option of replacing them with other individuals. So
far, that has not proven to be the case. Should that happen, I expect
to consider each situation on its own merits.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Now I understand that you and some of your colleagues on the
NCDNHC may wish that this were a different kind of Task Force composed
of representatives. But it is not.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>But thank you as always for your thoughts.</div>

I hope this is an oversight or a mistake of some sort.<br>
The former participants on that task force are no longer<br>
active. The NCDNHC would like to be represented on the<br>
New TLD committee, and there is widespread agreement among<br>
us that James Love is an appropriate representative.<br>
Can you please reconsider?<br>
