<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Hi<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If I may be a boring old process stickler for a moment: while everyone likes funny statements etc., it actually would be helpful if candidates for NCUC positions would submit statements that respond to the agreed questions rather than writing free form essays. There’s a reason we’ve used these questions for years; they ask for specific responses to important issues, and they allow voters to easily compare and contrast candidates’ views and records. In writing free essays, someone might inadvertently overlook some of them and thus not provide members with information that can help them make informed choices. So I repeat the questions once again in the hope that going forward we can return to our standard practice in the conduct of elections.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">1. Why do you want to serve on the EC?</div><div class=""><br class="">2. Provide a brief biography of recent experience, associations, and affiliations relevant to serving on the Executive Committee.

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?

Communication with the membership is critical. How would you keep members apprised of your EC-related activities?</div><div class=""><br class="">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 class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Incumbent candidates should answer in a manner that is both backward and forward looking, i.e. taking note of their contributions and work in the previous year.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">People should address each of these points, including the last one. The statements should be relatively concise, e.g. a paragraph or two per question. </div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bill</div><br class=""><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
