[council] RE: icann at large elections

["Chicoine, Caroline" <chicoinc@PeperMartin.com>]

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but with the close of the year
and the holidays, life has been a little hectic.  I would be happy to speak
to you on these issues, but please note that I am not authorized to speak on
behalf of the Intellectual Property Constituency or the Names Council with
respect to any substantive issues without their prior approval.  Anytime
Thursday or Friday of this week would work for me.  Let me know
Caroline G. Chicoine

Subject: icann at large elections


Caroline,

My organization, the Center for Democracy and Technology, is an 
internet policy group that is conducting an independent study of the 
ICANN At Large election process in cooperation with Common Cause and 
the Markle Foundation. Our goal is to bring together elections 
experts, members of the ICANN community, and internet community 
leaders to develop recommendations to ICANN on the elections process. 
Our first steps in this process will be to gather opinions and 
observations from leaders and participants in the ICANN community.

In attending the ICANN Los Angeles conference, I had the opportunity 
to hear you speak at the Names Council meeting. As a leader the 
intellectual property constituency and an active member of the Names 
Council, it would be great to have your input on this process. I was 
wondering if you have the time to have a brief chat by phone about 
these issues either before the holidays or during the beginning of 
Janurary If so, please let me know your availability and contact 
info, I would most appreciate the opportunity to discuss the project 
with you in further detail.

Regards,
Lusan
