Hi Joop & All on the GA List

Thank you for your vote of confidence in nominating me as co-Chair.  For those
who don't know me I am a Director of auDA (the .au ccTLD) and of my own company
Quad Quality Addressing Pty Ltd.  Of course I live in Australia and was most
pleased to welcome those who attended the Melbourne ICANN convention.

During this time I met many people, including many currently on this list, and
say "G'day" to them now.  I hope you all had a safe and pleasant trip home.

I too was very impressed with Danny Younger and found him to be a real
"people person" in his approach.  Calm, good-natured and intelligent.  I'd say
that Danny had exactly the qualities needed for the sensitive position of GA
Chair.  Certainly I'd welcome the opportunity to work with him.

I'd therefore second your nomination for Danny Younger as Chair of GA.

Whilst I agree with your assessment that a 12-hour time zone difference makes
the job easier, I feel the more relevant factor to a ticket-based approach is
the strength of shared commitment between the Chair and Co-Chair.  I believe
that both Danny and I share values and attitudes which combine determination,
vision and sensitivity.

I look forward to working with him for the betterment of ICANN and to the
benefit of our voting constituency. Thank you all.

Best regards
Patrick Corliss
