Adam:
Who to replace palage is a great question. From your work on the Nominating Committee, do you have any suggestions? Palage was unique (I nominated him initially!) and I don't know who could replace him.
I fear if we don't come forward with a name, the Intellectual Property Constituency will be more than happy to offer one.
Regards,
Kathy
Hi. Mike Palage has resigned from the ICANN board, effective April
3. See
<http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg02287.html>
I think Palage has done well, ICANN's better for him having served.
But who to replace him?
Interesting times for ICANN: all the post-WSIS global politics; MoU,
etc coming to an end; Vint and Alejandro term-limited so will leave
the board next year (succession issue: Vint will not be an easy
person to replace.) etc. etc.
