<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Bruna and Friends, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think we have an excellent candidate for Vice
Chair, and he brings deep experience and expertise.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Peter Akinremi has been our
Council Vice Chair for a year, deeply involved in helping create
agendas, shaping the annual Strategic Planning Session, and
working with Council leadership and staff to prioritize and plan.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you know, the UDRP ahead and I am deeply
worried. With the UDRP on the agenda, we need Peter’s experience
and expertise; his knowledge of Council and the UDRP are
invaluable right now.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>As
you might know, Peter is part of our informal UDRP Data Team and
he reviewed dozens of UDRP decisions – by eye not AI – and he
knows first-hand the imbalances, problems and concerns in these
UDRP decisions for noncommercial and Global South registrants.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With a year of experience on Council, Peter is
the right person to continue as Vice Chair, and even the CSG is
likely to agree.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>They want
someone who “knows the ropes” and has experience and expertise on
Council, and Peter brings it. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>They
also know he is fair and expert, and that is good for the entire
Non-Contracted Party House. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I should add that Peter’s experience in another
area impresses me– he is working on his PhD and writing his
dissertation on critical Internet infrastructure and cyber
resilience at the University of Cincinnati. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Samantha is good, as are the entire Verisign
team, yet they do think hard about their registrants in the .COM
community.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><i>It would be
imbalanced for Sam and Vivek to lead together. </i>This year is
far too important.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Peter
brings deep expertise and experience on Council and ICANN/Internet
policies – he is a critical NCSG leader at a critical moment in
time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I support Peter continuing as Vice Chair for
the next year.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best regards,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kathy</p>

<div>Hi, everyone, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this email finds everyone well. </div>

</div>
<div>We need to have an NCPH appointed vice-chair by the
next council Meeting, on xx/xx/xx. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The first part of the process is for us to figure out
who's going to be our candidate. For this matter, I ask
all councilors interested in doing it, to express their
interest here until tomorrow, October 23rd. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After that we will proceed w/ the conversation w/ CSG.
At the moment they want Vivek to be Vice-Chair and he can
be a NCPH candidate if we don't have a name and/or agree.
On this issue, I would also appreciate if all councilors
replied to this email informing whether they would be OK
w/ Vivek in case we don't have a candidate. </div>
