                              ><br>
                              > Hi,<br>
                              ><br>
                              > I was hoping to be able to set up a
                              conference call with all of the candidates
                              and members of the NCSG membership.  I
                              have been having a lot of difficulty
                              finding a time when all the candidates can
                              make it.  I have attached a pdf below that
                              shows the basic problem - there is not
                              time that satisfies all of the relevant
                              time zones without forcing someone to
                              participate in the middle of the night.<br>
                              ><br>
                              > But I personally thought that it was
                              critical for all candidates to be able to
                              attend, since not being able to attend
                              might put a candidate at a disadvantage.<br>
                              ><br>
                              > It was also obvious that with the IGF
                              ongoing this week, the conference call
                              would need to be next week, even though
                              the balloting would have already started. 
                              This did not concern me greatly, because
                              people can vote multiple times with the
                              system we have, with only the last ballot
                              counting, i.e. you can change your mind up
                              until the balloting ends on the 17 October
                              2359 UTC-11.<br>
                              ><br>
                              > An email alternate was also
                              possible.  A 48-72 hour period could be
                              defined for an online debate/interview of
                              the candidates.  This could work as
                              follows:<br>
                              ><br>
                              > - a set of questions would be posed
                              on the NCSG-Discuss list to all of the
                              candidates - each in its own thread
                              (individual subject lines)<br>
                              > - within the first few hours the
                              Candidates would all send their responses
                              to these question.<br>
                              > - following that the candidates could
                              discuss the issues with each other and the
                              members of the NCSG also participate with
                              followup questions.<br>
                              ><br>
                              > The advantage of doing it this way is
                              everyone can participate regardless of
                              their times zone and the positions of the
                              the candidates would be avaialble and
                              archived for the membership to read as
                              they decided on their how to vote now, and
                              indeed how to vote in the next elections
                              when it comes time to review their
                              performance against their original
                              intentions.<br>
                              ><br>
                              > I would like to start this tomorrow
                              29 September or 30th September at the
                              latest.<br>
                              ><br>
                              > I would like to get the membership's
                              views on these issues:<br>
                              ><br>
                              > - should I continue to try and  find
                              a time when we can have a teleconference
                              with all the candidates, knowing this
                              means someone will need to participate in
                              the middle of the night? or allowing for a
                              missing candidate?<br>
                              > - should I prepare to initiate an
                              online interview?  if so, is the simple
                              procedure I proposed adequate?<br>
                              ><br>
                              > In any case, I would like to collect
                              a set of questions for either option.  I
                              think  5 questions at most, 3 might be
                              ideal, would be good to start with for
                              either model.  I ask NCSG members to
                              suggest the questions you would like to
                              see your eight candidates for council, and
                              one candidate for NCSG Chair answer. 
                              Please send these in as soon as possible
