    I support Avri as a plan A, <br>
    <br>
    but urge to act responsibly so that either Avri or the [described]
    hard working ex-hippy with a sense of social justice turned up
    winning. <br>
    <br>
    I suppose that this means figuring out if they can both be
    candidates and obtain this result, or if this result is dependent
    upon only one of them running. Then I support playing it by
    supporting Avri in the hope ISPC backs her out but keeping in mind
    that plan B is better than what happened last time.<br>
    <br>
    Since it would be a very poor negotiating stance if you all would +1
    me (announcing our flexibility isn't a great tactic and I gather
    this list can be searched), please refrain from doing so ;)<br>

            <div>Yeah…, I think Mikey’s, as an individual, is great. And
              as Bill pointed out below, dealing with the ISPCP is not
              exactly the same as the other two constituencies of the
              CSG. For example, the two councillors of the ISPC voted
              against a motion during the council meeting in Buenos
              Aires when the councillors of the two other CSG
              constituencies voted for. I did not find that surprising
              and hope for more of it in the future. I often find the
              input of their members to be refreshing compared to folks
              in the BC and IPC.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>Having said that, I was very much in favour of Avri
              being a candidate during the last round of elections of
              the BoDs. After working considerably closer with her this
              past year and a half, my faith in her has only been
              reinforced. I think Avri would be an amazing board member.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>Losing Avri’s input on the council would be a shame,
              but I’m sure her efforts on the Board would be well worth
              it.</div>

                    <div>Very interesting indeed. Funny, I was wondering
                      if we should consider sounding Mikey out on
                      whether he'd be interested in a run -

                  He's very independent and thoughtful. The downsides I
                  see are: I'd prefer our own candidate, if Avri wants
                  to take another hack at it (or indeed anyone else of
                  ours), and Mikey would be a real loss to the COuncil.

                                      hi all,
                                      <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>
