I can't say I agreed with all her views either.  Then again I am not
sure I agree with the views of anyone on all the issues. Often, I am not
even sure I agree with my own views on everything all the time - that is
often the effect of listening to other people and the passage of time.

I think that if she is nominated and wins, her desire to maintain her
academic integrity and reputation will insure she listens when anyone
explains to her that she is leaning one way or another. I think she is a
listener - and that is a rare capability in the GNSO council. I think it
is a capability we need to consider in any candidate.

But yes, while we can go on experience of a person, any election
requires some act of faith.  I have never voted for anyone who ended up
100% predictable. Speaking from experience, the council chair job does
change people.

> Having said that, I can?t say I am opposed to nominating her on behalf of the NCPH, but cannot say whether or not I would vote for her when the time comes to elect a new chair. If we do agree to nominate her, I believe this should be communicated clearly to both the CSG and the CPH SGs.

I do think that everyone knows that being nominated by a house does not
guarantee the votes of that house when the chair election is held in
Dublin.

I also hope that our GNSO Council leadership is planing a interview of
both candidates during the GNSO weekend in Dublin.

But yes, when it comes time for the new council to vote, everyone will
have to make up their own mind.

If it is like previous years, there will be lots of conversation about
the candidates in Dublin.
