[council] Chairing discussions on ICANN Board election

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

 Hello All,

My usual practice when I am not able to chair a meeting, is to hand the
chair over to the immediate past chair - Philip Sheppard.

I recommend that the Council appoint Philip as the Council member to
chair discussions relating to the ICANN Board election, and act as the
liaison between the Council and the ICANN staff (in particular the GNSO
Secretariat, and the Dan Halloran from the ICANN General Counsel's
office) with respect to any election issues.

It would be appropriate for the Council to formalise this at the end of
the Council meeting scheduled 15 March 2007.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
