It would be great, and very beneficial for NCSG, if James would put
his sheer endless dedication and energy to work for this job.

+1 for this nomination.

Cheers,

Niels

For me, this is an easy nomination to second, so +1. As Robin

has indicated below, James has proven to be an extremely

dedicated and effective representative of non-commercial

interests in all of the ICANN activities he’s participated in.

I’ll also add that I thought he did an exceptionally good job

relaying some of our concerns to the ICANN board during the

NCSG meeting with the board at the Buenos Aires meeting not too

long ago.

Furthermore, he’s been helpfully following the work of the

GNSO Council rather closely, and has been regularly

participating in NCSG monthly policy calls and webinars since

he’s become a member. His contributions have always been

thoughtfully prepared and constructive.

I agree with Amr, James has the energy and plug and play

knowledge needed to be well qualified for the job. Glad he was

willing to throw his hat in the ring.

Bill
