<p>Hi Tomslin and All,</p>
<p>I would like to recommend that I be appointed with George
Sadowsky as an unofficial alternate. George as you know as an
ICANN Board member for many years. But few know that before that
he was a founding member of NCUC (NCSG would not be created for
about decade after). In 1999, George was with New York University
as IT director and joined us in founding NCUC and attending early
meetings. We were his initial link to ICANN! <br>
</p>
<p>He has now applied to join NCSG. Some Board members leave ICANN
forever, but those who remain, tend to go back to the groups they
came from. I hope we will approve his membership. And then I hope
we can allow him to work with me on the Closed Generics issues. He
is an expert on this issue from his time on the Board and knows
how difficult and complicated it is. He helped make sure we heard
from noncommercial organizations around the world before passing
the first ban on Closed Generics. Later, when the Subsequent
Procedures Working Group was looking closely at this issue, George
(at my invitation) joined the Working Group to again share the
complexities and potential problems of Closed Generics from his
perspective (which include his more recent experience with many
United Nations organizations).</p>
<p>While technically the job is supposed to be for one person, it is
too big for one volunteer (note: some attorneys will be paid by
their clients and law firms to participate fully in this new group
and there is a reason for that). ALAC plans to appoint a primary
person and a backup person if the primary person cannot attend a
meeting or discussion. Since I will be on book tour with my new
book about the ENIAC Programmers, <b><i>Proving Ground, </i></b>I
think it would be good idea for us to have a similar arrangement.
We don't want to miss a single Closed Generic meeting! <br>
</p>
<p>Best and tx,</p>
<p>Kathy<br>
</p>

<div>It means we have only 2 weeks to name a representative for
this. I don't think it'll be a problem since Kathy Kleinman
had indicated interest already and was granted funding to KL
based on that interest but I thought I'd flag the urgency to
the whole committee.<br>
