RE: [registrars] Nomination of Jay Westerdal for RC Treasurer

I agree with Eric
Elliot, why didn't you ask Donna and Bulk Register the same question?
I don't see whether or not you do something yourself or shop it out has any
bearing on conflicts.  The registrar's business model shouldn't be an issue
in this case.  The conflicts we are looking for here have to do with if, for
example, you own part of a Registry, have access to data from a registry
that the rest of us cant get (is not public), or do consulting for the IP
constituency or something like that, IMO.

Elliot,

Interesting question.

We have registry conflicts-of-interest identified, which is why I'm not
running for
anything. I also provide threads to Pool. They are better at it (backorder)
than I
am, which doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

We don't have shared management, whether threads or assets other than
threads, or
even non-operational assets such as legal counsel or technical consultants.

I suppose we could call these out to completely identify what registrar
members
share management of what resources, and in what form that shared management
and
resources exist.

There may be good reasons not to vote for Jay, but as interesting as your
question, it isn't a by-laws condition for this office, nor is this office
very
large in the grand scheme of things.

My two beads worth, milage varries.

Eric
