<p><font size="+1" face="Lucida Grande">Dear all, <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1" face="Lucida Grande">As you are aware, I put out a call for volunteers to replace Farzaneh Badii on the GNSO Council, prior to the Christmas break, closing Dec.28. Members of the NCSG EC felt that the confusion surrounding the discussion
of regional affiliation warranted a second call, and in the meantime I regret to inform you that Martin Silva Valent has announced his resignation effective February 1, so we now have two places to fill. NCSG Executive Committee needs to appoint these two
temporary alternates to replace them as soon as possible. If you are interested in the job, please let me and Maryam Bakoshi know as soon as possible, but no later than Monday January 20 (one week from now). The appointment is on the agenda of the EC, and
we'd want to have list of names at least two days in advance so we'll have time to review them. Please explain why you think you'd be good for the task and confirm you could commit to the time it takes. Jumping in to the council mid-term is not easy, so experience
is one key criteria for the EC in considering the appointment. Given the discussion about regional representation prior to the holidays, please let us know which region you declare you represent in your SOI. For reference, the accurate representation on Council
at the moment, following the announced resignations, is the following:</font></p>
<p><font size="+1" face="Lucida Grande">Rafik Dammak Asia Pacific</font><font size="+1" face="Lucida Grande"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1" face="Lucida Grande">Tatiana Tropina Europe</font><br>
</p>
<p><font size="+1" face="Lucida Grande">Elsa Saade North America</font></p>
<font size="+1" face="Lucida Grande">Farell Folly Africa<br>
<br>
</font>
<p><font size="+1" face="Lucida Grande">The term extends until ICANN69 in the fall of 2020, although the appointment can be made for a shorter time if the EC so chooses. If this makes a difference for you, for example if you'd only be able to do shorter time,
or if you would not be interested in a shorter appointment, let us know that, too. Thank you,
<br>
