[council] Regarding terms of Council members

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Avri,

When considering terms, there is also the question of whether you take
into account the previous DNSO structure.  The archives are available
at:

That is a good idea.

For reference - I joined the DNSO Names Council in Jan 2002.

I was elected chair of the DNSO Names Council on 29 August 2002.  

Philip Sheppard, Marilyn Cade, Greg Ruth, Tony Harris, Tony Holmes, Ken
Stubbs, and Cary Karp were all on the Council at that time.  E.g see the
minutes at:

I have been a member and chair of the GNSO Council since it was formed
in 2003.

So I guess I have been the chair for the past 4 years.

Under the registrar constituency rules, I am serving my last term on the
Council as a representative of the registrars constituency.   My term
finishes at the AGM in 2007.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
