Perhaps we can combine elements of the two proposals Avri outlines, as follows - have members submit 3 questions; pick the top 5 most popular topics and have the candidates answer them on the call. On the call, the candidates should also be prepared to explain their positions on issues they think important to NCSG, and take live questions. Afterward, post the transcript and/or MP3 recording for those members who had to miss the call.<BR>><BR>> Thanks to all who agreed to

options <BR>><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 so that I can collate them.<BR>><BR>> thanks<BR>><BR>> avri<BR>><BR>> Note on the chart Tunisia is in the same zone as Western Europe<BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><BR clear=all>
