Hi, I would like to formally solicit volunteers to temporarily replace Chris Chiu as North America representative on the Executive Committee, pending a new election in October. I will suggest the following names and wait to see who accepts and who runs away screaming, and who doesnt respond. Also, any member is free to nominate anyone else who is eligible (NCUC member in NA region.) Hans Klein, CPSR Frannie Wellings, EPIC Harold Feld, MAP Alan Davidson, CDT I understand that all of these folks are very busy with other things, of course, as are we all. FYI, being on the EC means attending online chat sessions about once every other month, and paying some attention to the list. It can also mean attendance at ICANN meetings. --MM
