I object to this arrangement. Clearly there is a lot of interest in this 
group, and it is in our best interests (as representatives) to spread 
some of this work around to interested members of our respective 
constituencies. An open call for participation has already gone out, 
interest has been expressed - why our we moving to reconsider the 
arrangements after a decision has already been made?

And perhaps I missed this detail, but how did Mike come to be the "group 
coordinator"?

Apologies for the late reaction to your question, however there has been 
much ICANN work this summer and this detail had previously escaped my 
attention.
