Mikey's ISPC, which is often not on exactly the same page with IPC and BC. If he ran and had those two votes and NCUSG threw its support to him, he’d win. If instead he and IPSC could be convinced that an NCUCer could as easily reflect their concerns on the board, Avri would win. If all three run—that throws the math into the land of variable geometry. <div><br></div><div>Change could happen?<br><div><br></div><div>See bottom</div><div><br></div><div>Bill</div><div><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>From: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';"><a href="mailto:john@crediblecontext.com">john@crediblecontext.com</a><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';"><b>About that ICANN Board Seat 14 - Non Contracted Party House</b><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Date: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';">February 17, 2014 at 2:10:57 AM GMT+1<br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>To: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';">"Mike O'Connor" <<a href="mailto:mike@haven2.com">mike@haven2.com</a>>, Glen_de_Saint_Géry <<a href="mailto:Glen@icann.org">Glen@icann.org</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family:'Helvetica'; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);"><b>Cc: </b></span><span style="font-family:'Helvetica';">"<a href="mailto:elisa.cooper@markmonitor.com">elisa.cooper@markmonitor.com</a>" <<a href="mailto:elisa.cooper@markmonitor.com">elisa.cooper@markmonitor.com</a>>, "Kristina\ Rosette" <<a href="mailto:krosette@cov.com">krosette@cov.com</a>>, "Tony Holmes" <<a href="mailto:tonyarholmes@btinternet.com">tonyarholmes@btinternet.com</a>>, "Rafik Dammak" <<a href="mailto:rafik.dammak@gmail.com">rafik.dammak@gmail.com</a>>, "William Drake" <<a href="mailto:william.drake@uzh.ch">william.drake@uzh.ch</a>>, "marie-laure Lemineur \(<a href="mailto:mllemineur@gmail.com">mllemineur@gmail.com</a>\)" <<a href="mailto:mllemineur@gmail.com">mllemineur@gmail.com</a>>, "Reed, Daniel A \(<a href="mailto:dan-reed@uiowa.edu">dan-reed@uiowa.edu</a>\)" <<a href="mailto:dan-reed@uiowa.edu">dan-reed@uiowa.edu</a>>, "Jen Wolfe \(<a href="mailto:jwolfe@wolfedomain.com">jwolfe@wolfedomain.com</a>\)" <<a href="mailto:jwolfe@wolfedomain.com">jwolfe@wolfedomain.com</a>>, "<a href="mailto:gabrielaszlak@gmail.com">gabrielaszlak@gmail.com</a>" <<a href="mailto:gabrielaszlak@gmail.com">gabrielaszlak@gmail.com</a>>, "Winterfeldt, Brian J.\ \(<a href="mailto:brian.winterfeldt@kattenlaw.com">brian.winterfeldt@kattenlaw.com</a>\)" <<a href="mailto:brian.winterfeldt@kattenlaw.com">brian.winterfeldt@kattenlaw.com</a>>, "Petter Rindforth \(<a href="mailto:petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu">petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu</a>\)\ \(<a href="mailto:petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu">petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu</a>\)" <<a href="mailto:petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu">petter.rindforth@fenixlegal.eu</a>>, "Novoa,\ Osvaldo" <<a href="mailto:onovoa@Antel.com.uy">onovoa@Antel.com.uy</a>>, "Avri Doria" <<a href="mailto:avri@acm.org">avri@acm.org</a>>, "Amr Elsadr\ \(<a href="mailto:aelsadr@egyptig.org">aelsadr@egyptig.org</a>\)" <<a href="mailto:aelsadr@egyptig.org">aelsadr@egyptig.org</a>>, "David Cake\ \(<a href="mailto:dave@difference.com.au">dave@difference.com.au</a>\)" <<a href="mailto:dave@difference.com.au">dave@difference.com.au</a>>, "Magaly Pazello\ \(<a href="mailto:magaly.pazello@gmail.com">magaly.pazello@gmail.com</a>\)" <<a href="mailto:magaly.pazello@gmail.com">magaly.pazello@gmail.com</a>>, "Klaus Stoll" <<a href="mailto:kdrstoll@gmail.com">kdrstoll@gmail.com</a>>, "Maria Farrell" <<a href="mailto:maria.farrell@gmail.com">maria.farrell@gmail.com</a>>, "Marika\ Konings" <<a href="mailto:marika.konings@icann.org">marika.konings@icann.org</a>>, "<a href="mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org">gnso-secs@icann.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org">gnso-secs@icann.org</a>>, "Erika Randall" <<a href="mailto:erika.randall@icann.org">erika.randall@icann.org</a>>, "Bill\ Graham" <<a href="mailto:bill.graham@icann.org">bill.graham@icann.org</a>><br></span></div><br><div><div>Well, nothing like getting things started with a bang.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was going to ask Bill if he even wanted to remain in seat 14. If he did/does, then we might have merely had a party at which we all congratulate ourselves for having made a good choice last time and re-commit. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>But with Mikey throwing his hat into the ring, I think that opens up the process to a host of possibilities, which could include Bill's re-election or the emergence of all manner of candidate, with the ultimate successful nominee carrrying the hopes and dreams of all the house.</div>

<div>See you all in Singapore!</div>

<div> </div>
<div>thanks for this Glen. i’ve added Bill Graham in to this reply, just because i can. :-)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i’m a bit puzzled by where all this stands. Avri and i had a great exchange on the Council list that kindof bears on this topic, which i was going to link to, but i don’t have permission to access the GNSO Council list archive. <shrug></div>
<div> </div>
<div>i can’t quite tell who gives Glen the approval to proceed on the schedule she’s describing. since that 3-March date is coming pretty soon, is there anybody who objects? sorry — i have a keen eye for power-vacuums and feel more comfortable just throwing questions like that to the whole gang. if a food-fight ensues, you can Blame Mikey.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i’m assuming that Councilors vote on the instruction of their respective constituents, but again i could use a little guidance on that.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>and finally, just to keep cards on the table, i’m contemplating a run for the seat and would like to hear pros and cons from folks either on this thread or off.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thanks,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>mikey </div>
