<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">I would respectfully
like to disagree with this statement. We need new blood, and
we need to run elections, not a process of acclamation. One
of the unfortunate side effects of our mutual outpouring of
support for those nominated may be to discourage other
candidates from running. I would like to encourage people to
run for council. Even if unsuccessful this time, there is
always a next time, and it gets you better known among our
electorate. Please do not hesitate to come forward and
participate.<br>

<font face="Arial, sans-serif">I am honored to nominate
Edward Morris as European representative for the NCSG on
the GNSO Council.</font>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font face="Arial,
sans-serif">Ed currently holds this position and, as
we have seen, he takes his job very seriously. Ed
works tirelessly as an NCSG representative in the
Council's job of overseeing the policy development
process. He fights to ensure that Issues Report and
Charters – key documents that kick off a new Policy
Development Processes – are fair and balanced. He
works with our NCSG Counselors and others to guide
well-developed policies (developed by the Working
Groups) to the Board for adoption (without the changes
and circumvention some parties often seek to add).</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font face="Arial,
sans-serif">Ed is a leader in the cross-cutting work
of Council where he has led our GNSO response to
ICANN's Budget with an in-depth review and critique,
and key recommendations for changes. He regularly
serves on Council subgroups working on responses to
the issues the GNSO faces within ICANN. </font> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font face="Arial,
sans-serif">We know Ed best in the last two years as a
leader in the CCWG process fighting for Transparency,
Accountability and Free Expression. The thousands of
hours he spent on these issue (alongside Robin, Matt
and so many others) were critical to the provisions
and bylaws adopted.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font face="Arial,
sans-serif">As we continue the Transition, and three
major Policy Development Processes (Registration
Directory Services, Rights Protection Mechanisms
Review and New gTLD Subsequent Procedures) now in
progress, this is a great time to continue our
outstanding leadership. Ed is a tireless advocate for
our NCSG interests on Council and throughout ICANN. He
is an attorney specializing in politics &
government, free expression, intellectual property and
cybersecurity and whose advocacy and legal skills are
needed in this important time of change and trasition.
His passion, advocacy skills, drafting skills, and
Multistakeholder vision are well-known. <br>
</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font face="Arial,
sans-serif"><i>My great thanks to Ed for his passion,
commitment and thousands of hours of work for NCSG
on Council, and I hereby submit Ed Morris' name to
you for a second term as our European representative
on the GNSO Council. </i><br>
</font></p>
