[mailto:owner-council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Adrian Kinderis All, I would like to nominate Stéphane Van
Gelder to the position of Chair of the GNSO Council. He has satisfied me and our Stakeholder
Group that he can put any personal interests aside and drive the massive
amounts of work ahead of us from a position of neutrality and fairness. I also believe that, given his management
background, he will be able to effectively manage the priorities the tasks at
hand – an imperative quality for the leader of the Council. I hope that folks don’t see this as one
Registrar looking after another. It has actually been a significant internal
process as we have looked across the Council for our next leader. We see
Stéphane’s leadership qualities as the main driver here. As you would
understand the Registrar Stakeholder Group continues to grow with varied
perspectives, views and business models (much in the same was the Registry
Stakeholder group has) particularly at this time of flux. Please see this
endorsement then, of not just a suitable Registrar to fill the position of
Chair, but a worthy candidate for all. Thanks. Adrian
