<p>Hi Bill<br>
</p>
<p>thanks for the overview, it is a great conversation starter. <br>
</p>
<p>What a difficult choice. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>My preferred point of departure is identifying the priorities for NCUC policy work, and whether we have those already (at least) partially covered by members who will be in Buenos Aires. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Based on this, off the top of my head I would suggest Ireland-James and Monika. James, to ensure continuity (he was in Istanbul, too), and Monika to bring forward the work towards the CCWG. Although, also Arun seems to be up-to-speed with the accountability
debate... and, should we adopt a geographical balance principle that some of the EC held quite close to their heart, then we might want to avoid supporting two Europeans (hence Arun would be awarded the money). If we want to adopt some geo principle, then
I would strongly be in favour of a gender balance approach, too --hence Monika. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I feel we could already 'exclude' Kenya-James for now. We could suggest him to get more involved remotely over the next few months, and apply again for Dublin. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am very eager to engage in a debate and hear from the others! <br>
</p>
<p>It is a difficult choice and I am relieved there is more of us to have a say. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>have a good Sunday! Here in the Netherlands we are preparing to celebrate tomorrow the kind's birthday No comment. I am a republican and headless nationalism makes me sad, but .. the dutch can be pretty amazing then they party for their king. So, might not
be constantly online tomorrow. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>What's a reasonable deadline for our decision, Bill?<br>
</p>

<div class="">Hi</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So the application period has closed and now the fun begins, we have to decide among four applications.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">Monika Zalnieriute (Lithuania): Was in Singapore on other money, deeply involved with the human rights effort launched after NCUC’s London CD meeting with the COE + Switzerland. See her app sent to the list 14 April. We got her CROPP support
to attend the EuroDIG meeting in Sofia in June.</div>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Arun Sukumar (India): Attended Istanbul (we have his interview by ICANN on our website), has quickly gotten deeply engaged in the accountability process (sent a report to the list on a meeting held in Delhi) and is tracking the IANA transition
too. Was in Singapore at our CD meeting on his organization’s dime. See his app sent to the list 18 April.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">James Gannon (Ireland): Attended Istanbul, has quickly gotten deeply engaged in the IANA and accountability processes, also participating in the Privacy and Proxy Accreditation WG and the IAG on WHOIS Conflicts. See his app sent to the list 19
April.<br>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="" style="text-align:justify">James Njoroge Gitau (Kenya): Not previously involved much but would like to have a look and consider ways to engage, per Ben in Singapore. </span>See his app sent to the list 20 April. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have my own views but would rather hear what others think first. I will however repeat Milton’s comment, which people seemed to resonate with:</div>

bring in new and untested people.</span></div>
