<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Thank you for your hard work on the election.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">You have stated in your email that "each NCUC member is entitled to vote for the chair and for 1 EC representative in each of the 5 ICANN geographic regions (i.e. up to six people). In line with the NCSG charter, member's vote are weighted as follows: 4 votes for large organizations, 2 votes for small organizations, and 1 vote for individual members".</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">I believe that is incorrect.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">NCUC elections are held in accordance with rules contained in the NCUC Bylaws, not those contained in the NCSG Charter. Per the NCUC Bylaws:</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Article VI.G. Individual members have 1 vote.</div>
<div class="">Article V1.C.2. Small organisations have 1 vote</div>
<div class="">Article Vi.C.3. . Large organisations have 2 votes </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">So rather than the 4-2-1 voting proportions used for NCSG elections, NCUC elections are run using a 2-1-1 vote weighing system. In practical terms the NCUC Bylaws give more power to individual members, the NCSG Charter to large organisations. </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">I do hope the tabulation software will be programmed to accurately reflect the NCUC Bylaws. We have several contested elections with some fine candidates and in fairness to them it would be good to use the vote weighing system contained in our Bylaws and not that of our SG.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Thanks,</div>
