RE: [council] TF Transfers

["Cade,Marilyn S - LGA" <mcade@att.com>]

I would think that having Joanna Lane as the GA representative would appear
to be a good approach.  I have read Joanna's lenthy memo regarding
representing "registrants".  Of course, the GA will want a  representative
who can represent the GA broadly. But, I am not sure why providing the GA
representation role should preclude Joanna representing, as part of that, a
concern to ensure that individual "registrants" needs/views/perspectives,
etc. are reflected, along with other stakeholder views. 

I would suggest that the TF will of course discuss input/persperspectives
for various stakeholders; including, but not limited to individual
registrants.  Joanna's participation, along with participation from other TF
members,  can be helpful to ensure that the TF considers how to understand
the views of the full range of stakeholders, including individual
registrants.  

I understand Joanna's concern that she may be spread "very thin" in taking
on GA representation,  but actually, everyone on the TF does have a broad
responsibility of diverse representation to their constituency.   I see a
lot of variance in several of the constituencies on the transfers issue. 

I hope that the GA and hopefully, Joanna, will agree that she can be the GA
rep.

Joanna,
thank you for your reply. As you may appreciate this request raises issues
beyond the transfers task force and hits at the essence of individuals
representation within ICANN. In this respect the current ALSC report is
relevant and that report among other issues is just starting debate within
another NC task force.

It would be premature to agree to a registrants/individuals representation
in a NC task force before we can give thought as the NC to the wider issue.

On a practical note I am fully aware of your interest, competence and
activity on the GA and believe you would make an excellent GA representative
to the transfers TF. The GA has not yet nominated anyone to the task force
(The GA chair was put on circulation by the TF chair for information pending
a nomination). I would encourage you to seek GA nomination and so be able to
participate.

Philip Sheppard
NC Chair
