> I have been asked by the Policy Committee of the NCSG to discuss  
> the issue of nomination of the vice-chair from the non-contracted  
> parties house for the GNSO. I was specifically asked to see if I  
> could mediate a solution, rather than an ombudsman investigation,  
> because the NCSG values the working relationship, and does not want  
> a more formal approach. So my first query is whether you are happy  
> to mediate a solution to the issue, of why the turn for NCSG to put  
> forward Wendy Seltzer as the nominee, has not been accepted. As I  
> understand this, there has been an agreement, by an email exchange,  
> between NCSG and CSG, that the nomination for vice-chair would be  
> shared year and year about. However this has not been the case with  
> the current nomination from NCSG for Wendy. The first question is  
> whether this is just an oversight, or whether you do not agree that  
> she should be nominated. If the latter, then I am available to  
> mediate a solution, if that is the course which will resolve the  
> issue, and if you accept mediation, I can set this up.

> Can you please let me know your thoughts?
