RE: [nc-udrp] Election for UDRP Task Force Chair

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@neustar.us>]

Correct me if I am wrong, but the only persons that can serve as chair are
J. Scott Evans and Tony Harris because of the rule that the person must be a
NC member. 

Personally, I believe the rule is ridiculous and should be abolished.  The
rule just perpetuates the problem that we see in the DNSO of all of the work
being concentrated in the hands of a very few.  I am not sure that having NC
members serve as Chairs really creates the accountability that was behind
the creation of the rule.  This is not meant to take anything away from the
two NC members on this committee.

Nonetheless, I think J Scott would make an excellent chair of this
committee, should he want the job.  I have known him for a few years now and
think that he would possess the required skill and independence to be the
chair.

Jeff
