[registrars] Nomination of Mark Jeftovic

["Ross Wm. Rader" <ross@tucows.com>]

I'd like to nominate a newer registrar for the whois privacy steering 
group - Mark Jeftovic (http://mark.jeftovic.net/) of EasyDNS. Mark is 
currently a CIRA board member, operates My Privacy (an antispam tool 
designed to prevent registrant and contact email addresses from being 
harvest from the Whois) and as one of the founders of EasyDNS, will be 
able to bring a unique entrepreneurial perspective to issues of privacy, 
accuracy and whois/bulkwhois. It is important to note that Canada also 
has enacted strong privacy legislation, so his presence on this 
committee will be instructive from the standpoint of having a North 
American perspective that has been fortified by having to deal with 
Canadian privacy legislation.

There's only one catch - Mark is in the process of joining the 
constituency. As a result, I have had to make Mark a temporary 
representative of Tucows to ensure that he fully qualifies for 
nomination in this election. I expect that this will become unnecessary 
when his membership application is processed by the constituency.

If the constituency feels that this is appropriate, I am sure that a 
seconder will be found in order that Mark may run against the existing 
nominee's from Verisign and Schlund.
