RE: [atlarge-discuss] Chair



Thank you. I accept and invite all my fellow panel members to squeeze into
the Chair with me. I'm going to need lost of help to get this  right.
You'll be pleased to hear I didn't prepare an acceptance speech, so probably
the best thing to do is move on to the next item of business, Election of
Alt Chair, by the same open and transparent process, as succinctly described
by Walts Schmidt below and executed by SG on this list.

In the spirit of conciliation towards those who may feel the Joanna and
Jamie Election ticket is not their the best option available for whatever
reason, I would now like to widen the list of candidates for Alt Chair and
nominate Hans Klein, who is Chairman of the Board of Computer Professionals
for Social Responsibility, a mass-membership, public interest organization
in Internet-related issues. He has been active in ICANN processes since
1998, analyzing competing proposals for the ICANN bylaws in 1998,
participating in most ICANN meetings since 2000 and publishing the
Cyber-Federalist newsletter.

I share many of Hans ambitions for the At large, including developing a
collective voice for users, developing specific user positions and working
for globally equitable governance. I would be honored if he would accept
this Nomination.

Regards,
Joanna
