Re: [registrars] Representation on the GNSO WHOIS privacy steeringgroup (fwd)

[Rick Wesson <wessorh@ar.com>]

I should have posted this before the weekend but was out of pocket. The
ballot to select a primary and alternate representative to the GNSO
WHOIS privacy steering group will open today and close on the 22nt.

Nominees for the two positions available (primary and alternate) are:
   o Brian Cute (us)
   o Mark Jeftovic (ca)
   o Tom Keller (de)

We will have two ballots one for primary and the other for alternate,
should the same person win both the candidate with the second highest
number of votes on either ballot will become the alternate.
