While I would support Avri in the position without reservation, she has
been doing a great deal of heavy lifting for a long time in numerous
capacities, and I am wary of overloading her.  Especially since I'm not
aware that she has responded to the "draft" yet...

I would also strongly support Norbert, who also has long-standing
involvement in ICANN/NCUC and should be viewed as a reliable, trusted and
proven resource for a task such as this.
