<p>Happy Sunday my colleagues:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thank you Bill and Stefania. Indeed a difficult choice. Considering the choices, and I add, the need for the human rights discussion in this critical juncture in the global debate, I support Monika.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I also support James simply out of practicality and continuity; we are going to Ireland next.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Hope these observations help.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Kindly,</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.</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>

goals of the Constituency at a particular meeting. It should NOT be based on personalities, feelings, likability, first come first served, and other extraneous things. Also, keep in mind that there is a fellowship program from the much richer ICANN that can
bring in new and untested people.</span></div>

<div class="">Please recall that the guidelines that we agreed state, "The Executive Committee will assess such requests for assistance on a case-by-case basis and strive to make a decision within one week of receipt.”</div>
