As you can see from the Elections page below, we potentially have competitive elections for the AF position (2 candidates) and the AP position (3 candidates) but not for the chair, Europe, NA, or LAC. So again, I would strongly encourage anyone who is interested in getting more involved to consider standing for election. The next year should be an interesting and important one in NCUC’s development and in ICANN more generally, so it’s worth giving it a try if you have any inclination. </div><div><br></div><div>In addition, it is helpful to have competitive elections from the standpoint of legitimacy and buy-in, and as an incentive to electoral ‘turn-out’ when the time comes to vote. Civil society’s influence in ICANN is enhanced if our representatives can credibly say they represent xyz members, and the credibility of that claim is increased if we have a good level of participation in the election.</div><div><br></div><div>As you also can see from the Elections page, four of the nine people nominated thus far have yet to indicate that they accept the nomination. One should accept the nomination before submitting a candidate statement, a process that begins Monday, so it’d be good to hear from those folks, even in the case of self-nominations, just to be sure.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br></div><div>Bill</div><div><br></div><div>
