I am speaking the mind of the new members who will like to

have a position on the EC that is more like an understudy

</div>
<div>Further to the message below, today
being 3 November, nominations are now
open until Sunday 16 November (close of
business on earth) for our election.
Again, self-nominations and nominations
of colleagues are equally welcome (in
the latter case, a good practice is to
check with the potential nominee first).

<div>Now that NCSG has wrapped
up its early Autumn election
and ICANN’s Annual Meeting in
LA is behind us, it is NCUC's
turn for elections. We need
to elect a Chair and an
Executive Committee for 2015.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>I. Positions</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The positions to be filled
are:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Chair <span style="white-space:pre-wrap">

<div><br>
</div>
<div>NCUC really needs committed
volunteers who are really
willing to donate a few hours
a week to collaboration in
order to help ensure that
civil society's voice is heard
in ICANN. The EC’s
responsibilities are primarily
in the realm of constituency
administrative management,
inreach and outreach, and
interfacing with ICANN’s staff
and community as needed (GNSO
policy work being the province
of the participants in the
NCSG Policy Committee, GNSO
Council, and GNSO working
groups). If you think that
you or someone you know would
be well suited to the tasks
involved, then please consider
nominating accordingly.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>II. Timetable</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The process begins next
Monday, November 3. The
timetable will be as follows:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>November 3 - 16:
Nominations submitted to
ncuc-discuss </div>
<div>November 17 -
30: Candidates submit
statements to ncuc-discuss </div>
<div>December 1 − 14: Election
period </div>
<div>December 15: Results
announced</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During the first two-week
period, any member can
self-nominate or nominate any
other member
<a href="http://www.ncuc.org/about/members/" target="_blank">http://www.ncuc.org/about/members/</a>
(usually best to check with
them first). During the
second two-week period,
nominees must notify
colleagues via the mail list
whether they accept the
nomination, and if they do,
submit a candidate statement
(see below). At the beginning
of the third two-week period,
ballots will be emailed by
ICANN staff, and voting will
occur on a secure website.
Staff will then run the tally
software and announce the
vote, and the new EC will be
set up soon thereafter.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>III. Participation</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>As you know, in
accordance with its Charter,
NCSG’s chair does a
labor-intensive "check-in”
procedure (probably
necessary in the SG
context), and members who do
not reply in time to
multiple email promptings
become ineligible to vote in
the election cycle. Rafik
went through this in recent
NCSG election, with these
results <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsJI0CB4QegidDktTGtfa2pWZlMzY1FnRHFBYkRXekE&usp=drive_web#gid=0" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsJI0CB4QegidDktTGtfa2pWZlMzY1FnRHFBYkRXekE&usp=drive_web#gid=0</a> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In contrast, NCUC’s
Bylaws don’t require a
check-in, and we have never
done one. Whether in the
future we might want to move
in this direction has been
discussed in the EC before
and might merit
consideration again (there
are pluses and minuses to
it), but for now we will
stick with our simplified
traditional approach.
Everyone who’s a member as
of 30 days before the
election (i.e. now) is
eligible to vote, and the
results in contested cases
are based on simple
majorities irrespective of
what percentage of members
“turns out” to vote. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That said, <b>we must
have your correct current
email address in our data
base in order for staff to
send you a ballot. The
only way we can ensure
this is for you to send an
email to Maryam Bakoshi <a href="mailto:maryam.bakoshi@icann.org" target="_blank">maryam.bakoshi@icann.org</a> so
she can check it against
the data base. Please do
this as soon as possible.
</b>
While you’re at it, you
might want to double check
that you are correctly
listed at <a href="http://www.ncuc.org/about/members/" target="_blank">http://www.ncuc.org/about/members/</a> as
well. </div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>IV. Candidate
Statements</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For when we get to this
stage, the standard list of
questions we’ve asked people
over the years is as follows:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Why do you want to serve
on the EC?<br>
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.<br>
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. <br>
4. Communication with the
membership is critical. How
would you keep members
apprised of your EC-related
activities?<br>
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? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The statements should be
relatively concise, e.g. a
couple paragraphs per
question. Incumbent
candidates should answer in a
manner that is both backward
and forward looking, i.e.
taking note of contributions
and work in the previous year.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div><b>V. "Meet the
Candidates” Virtual Meeting?</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During last year’s
election, we tried something
new and scheduled an Adobe
Connect session where members
could ask the candidates
questions etc. If there’s
demand to try this again we
can schedule a session during
the election period.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I may be forgetting
something…if there are any
questions, just ask.
Otherwise, please do keep this
election schedule on your
radar, consider whether you
or someone you know might like
to stand for election to one
of the above posts, ensure
that we have your email
address, and when the time
comes, vote. It’s really
important.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks much,</div>
<div><br>
