Hi Joop. Actually, I think Kent posted it only here. I may of clouded
things because I saw the post as offtopic for this list and not
applicable. So rather than respond here, I responded on the ifwp list
and DNSO list, where discussions of the merits of ICANN and the ISOC
role are probably more on topic.

Apologies if this caused any confusion.

Any future responses that were posted to this list were the
responsibility of that poster though, as I did not include this list
in my replies.

The problem with that is the low percentage of members who are active
on the list. 90% of the posts come from 10% of the members (or even
worse, that was just a quick guesstimate).

With that in mind, I think Andy Gardner and John Reynolds would be
well suited to the task and I would nominate them. Though I've not
spoken with either of them about this, and have no idea if they would
even be interested in helping out in this area.
