[registrars] Brian Cute's nomination to the GNSO WHOIS privacy steering group

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@melbourneit.com.au>]

I second the nomination of Brian Cute to the GNSO WHOIS privacy steering
group.

I think it will be good to have representatives from North America and
Europe.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
Member of the registrars constituency

> The GNSO Council has requested that each constituency
> nominate one or two representatives to the GNSO WHOIS privacy 
> steering group.  Note this steering group is not responsible 
> for policy development.  Its role is to take the large number

> carry out policy development.  These terms of reference will

> The preference is to appoint the representatives prior to the

> Given that the representatives will not be "elected officers"
