Having spoken to David Cake and determined that he is interested in<br>
running for a second term, I would like to nominate David Cake for the<br>
GNSO Council.<br>
<br>
Currently he not only represents NCSG interests, but is serving as one<br>
of the Vice-chairs of the council. It believe it would be good to keep<br>
him on for another term.<br>
