We now move to the second stage of the process, which runs from today November 20 to December 3. During this time, candidates should indicate whether they accept their nominations, and if so, submit statements here on the listserv responding to the standard set of questions we’ve used in recent years. These are as follows:</div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><b>1. Why do you want to serve on the EC?</b></div></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><b><br></b></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><b>2. Provide a brief biography of recent experience, associations, and affiliations relevant to serving on the Executive Committee. Describe the relevance of your personal and professional experience to serve on the NCUC Executive Committee, and identify any conflicts of interests you might have.</b></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><b><br></b></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><b>3. The EC performs several functional responsibilities for the Constituency. What level of time commitment can you bring to your EC role on a weekly and overall basis? Describe any concerns or limitations on your ability to attend online meetings of the Executive Committee and ICANN Meetings in person. </b></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><b><br></b></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><b>4. Communication with the membership is critical. How would you keep members apprised of your EC-related activities?</b></div></div></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><b><br></b></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><b>5. How do you foresee NCUC’s function, scale, or role changing in the future? What areas of ICANN policy, if any, need more attention and why? Be concise (200 words maximum).</b></div></div><div><br></div><div>I suppose that for incumbent candidates these should be answered in a manner that is both backward and forward looking.</div><div><br></div><div>Ok, back to ICANN BA…</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Bill<br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
