Thanks Eric, and Bruce, for your support.  After discussing the
requirements and responsibilities of the role with Elana, and taking
some time to ensure that I can live up to those commitments, I am
honored to accept your nomination.

I have worked in the domain name industry for over 5 years.  As Bruce
mentioned, during that time I have served as a GNSO council
representative, a member of the Redemption Grace Period Technical
Steering Group, and the chair of the Deletes and Whois #2 task forces
(as well as co-chair of the current combined Whois TF #1 and 2).  These
roles have given me the opportunity to spend time with a large number of
people in the industry and to realize that reasonable people in the
ICANN community with legitimate differences can work together to make
positive changes for the good of the entire community.  Similarly, I
believe that I can effectively chair the constituency in a manner that
is beneficial to all members. I'm fortunate that in transitioning the Director
of Policy position at Register.com to me, Elana has brought me in touch
with her political contact base; combined with my technical expertise and
familiarity with the industry, I believe this will help me serve as an
effective Chair when it is necessary to liaise with outside groups.

I am including a Conflict of Interest disclosure here because I want to
be clear about my involvement with the .pro registry.  As many of you
know, I worked for the .pro registry until its sale from Register.com to
Hostway in February of this year.  In my role there, I had access to
technical, financial, and operational information about the planned
registry.  However, the registry was not launched until considerably
after the sale, and it is my understanding that the new registry operator
incorporated essentially none of technical or operational components
that I had access to into their registry platform.  I have never been
employed by, nor had access to any Registry Sensitive Information or
Registry Proprietary Information relating to, the operator of the live .pro
registry.  More importantly, because the registry had not yet launched
I had no access to information about any registrar's business that was
not available to the general public.  I also note that I am currently
employed by Register.com, a member of the constituency.  If elected, I
intend to clearly separate my work for Register.com from my duties as
Chair and would clearly segregate and label my communications and
actions to avoid any confusion or appearance of conflict.  I welcome any
questions on this topic, or any other.

Once again, thank you for the nomination, and regardless of the outcome
of this election I look forward to working with all of you as an active
member of the constituency.

Jordyn

 Hello Bob,
I would like to start with thanking Elana for her hard work and valued
contribution in her role as chair. I also wish her well in her new job.
I believe that Jordyn Buchanan from Register.com will take over as
Register.com's representative in the registrars constituency.  Jordyn
has served on the GNSO Council, and is currently co-chair of the
combined WHOIS task force 1 and 2. He is well regarded within the GNSO. If Jordyn is willing and has the time available, I am happy to nominate
Jordyn Buchanan for chair.
Regards,
Bruce Tonkin

Dear Registrars:

I bring sad news, Elana has accepted a position which will take her away from us.

I can only describe her tenure as Stupendous. I have enjoyed working for her. She has been objective and fair, has run well organized meetings.

Sadly, I am calling for nominations for Chair of the RC.

Regards, BobC, Secretary.
