Candidates for NCUC Chair

[Milton Mueller]

Hello, all
Thanks to Robin and the seconders for the nomination. I will accept if it is necessary. Regarding Frannie's mesage, let me point out that Iliya has already indicated that he can't even run for Exec. Comm, much less chair, so I suspect there is not much hope there. Re: Mawaki, our charter forbids being both a GNSO Council member and the chair and I personally think he's doing us a lot more good as a Council member, but let's see what he says. Adam would be great if he were willing to take it on but let's see what he says.

Regarding Erick's message, I am a bit amused by it. The chair's role in the NCUC is primarily administrative and facilitating, there is not much "power" to be had. Most decisions require Exec. Comm votes. I personally consider the ncuc chair to be a somewhat distracting liability, but one which I am currently in the best position to do until we find new leaders, so I hope no one thinks I am lusting after this.

Hi everyone,

I think in order to proceed with this discussion we need to consider our personnel resources. I guess I'd like to hear who, of our active participants, would be interested in chairing the constituency. Three people who aren't from North America come to mind as possible chairs (in no particular order)...

- Mawaki Chango

- Adam Peake

- Iliya Nickelt

Would any of you be able and willing to chair the NCUC?


Best,

Frannie
