[NCSG-EC] Fwd: Re: Replacement for a council member in ICANN 64

Sun Jan 6 01:08:30 EET 2019

To be clear, Martin has been working on the RPM PDP, not the EPDP.

I see you commented on none of the other points I raised so maybe you could
do that now?

How many people are coming to Kobe from the NCUC? While I totally agree
that Amr is a strong advocate for the NCSG policies in the GNSO, why aren't
you using one of the many NCUC slots for him? Who's using the PIR-slot?
That seems like a natural choice for Amr from my point of view. Like I
said, NPOC has very little choices over our few slots and Martin's
replacement is now one of them. We also want Martin's replacement to attend
the NPOC sessions and do work for us like he has always done. Tapani is
willing to do this, like he has done in the past.

Tapani has maybe not attended PDPs, but he's written quite a bit of policy
for the Finnish government on digital rights and has a wealth of experience
in dissecting policy and analysing it.
