If you think it is ok Amr, you have my vote!  We cannot staff 
everything, that is for sure.

Today is the deadline for nominations, and there haven’t been any yet (nor self-nominations), and the current chair is term-limited after serving two one-year terms.

In case there are any concerns about nominating a member of the IPC to chair this committee, I should note that this committee is not one that handles contentious policy issues, but rather is a committee that works to review the GNSO operating procedures trying to make them and the GNSO’s work as efficient as possible. The committee only forwards recommendations to the GNSO council if and when full consensus of the committee has been achieved, so the chair’s role is one of coordination of the committee’s duties. As far as I can tell, Anne seems to be the only member willing to chair the committee, and I don’t see a problem in nominating her. However, as has been my custom, whenever a vote or decision of any kind is taking place on the SCI, I prefer to notify the NCUC membership before I act in case there are any reservations or concerns.
