Betreff: [NCUC-DISCUSS] Appointment of William Drake as NCUC
Delegate to the ICANN 2016 Nominating Committee<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Dear NCUCers,<br>
On behalf of the EC, I am pleased to announce that William
Drake is appointed by EC as the NCUC Delegate to the ICANN
2016 Nominating Committee.<br>
As you have noted, as of 15th, August, we received two
candidate SOIs from Remmy and Bill. Afterwards, with Remmy
sent us a withdrawal of request, we then chose to appoint the
only remaining candidate-Bill as the delegate representing
NCUC in NomCom. Congratulations to Bill.<br>
And we also thank Remmy for expressing interest in this
selection. Hope see you do so in future around NCUC and ICANN
community.<br>
Thanks for everybody's time and attention.<br>
Best RegardsPeter Green<br>
