[council] New NCDNHC Names Council members

["Milton Mueller" <mueller@syr.edu>]

The Noncommercial constituency has elected its new
Names Council representatives. They are:

Eung Hwi CHUN (Korea): ehchun@icann-ncc.org
Harold Feld (USA): hfeld@mediaaccess.org
Erick Iriarte (Peru): faia@amauta.rcp.net.pe

With this message, I bid the Names Council adieu.
I entered the Council determined to fight for the
right policies, but am leaving it with the sense
that it is no small victory simply to produce a
policy.

As ICANN lurches toward some kind of redefinition
of itself, the future of the DNSO itself is in doubt.
Whatever happens on that front, I feel cautiously 
optimistic about the future of the Internet, however - 
Lynn's reform proposals seem to have shocked the 
community into a stark realization of what is at 
stake. 

I intend to follow through on the commitment to 
transition the UDRP working group and also intend
to closely monitor the progress of the .org 
divestiture. 

Regards to all of you I worked with,

--MM
