Of course it does. Please read the second paragraph of the
announcement which you kindly repeated (and which is enclosed
below for convenience): the IAB made a proposal, Poisson did not
converge on consensus about it and others who were consulted
didn't reach consensus either. So the alternatives were for the
IAB to make a decision or for us to forfeit our right to make a
nomination of this sort. The IAB chose the former, and
nominated the incumbent, who is widely respected, experienced in
Internet issues, and widely perceived of as doing a good job.
In terms of our long-term strategy for filling this type of
position, we assume that discussion, in Poisson and, as
appropriate, elsewhere, will continue.
Did you have a question here?
