Re: [council] DRAFT/early thoughts on what a CEO performance review motion

[Klaus Stoll <kdrstoll@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Berard, Dear All

Whereas, I am not necessarily opposed to the motion, I wonder if the 
GNSO is the right place to move and develop it. As a newcomer to the 
GNSO Council, I want to be clear if this is inside the pdp remit of the 
council.
Please advice!

Yours, Klaus

PS: Whereas I move, the motion should be filed under "clever ICANN CEO's 
assassination attempts".:-)
