Re: [ga] Chair election dates

["Rod Dixon, J.D., LL.M." <roddixon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree that future voting participation will aid the credibility of  
the current effort.  I have a couple of questions for the list members.

My understanding of the results of the February voting: a neutral  
chair (having a term of ?) will facilitate debate, and the vice chair  
will do the same when filling in for the chair. Is this correct?

Is there a goal to accomplish anything other than debate/discuss  
ICANN issues?  Are we trying to re-constitute the GA into something  
resembling its status under the DNSO? It may be helpful in gaining  
voting participation to clarify the goals of this effort.
