Our web page was based on a "temporary" design that had lasted a decade, membership was half of what it is now and they had to recruit newbies like me to run for EC seats, despite us knowing very little about ICANN.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Thanks largely to Bill the NCUC is now a vibrant, alive place. Elections are no longer coronations but competitions among very qualified people.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">If you haven't voted yet please do so now. There are only a few hours left. Please show your appreciation for all that Bill has done by actively participating in the election process. A big turnout would be the greatest sign yet that the NCUC has matured into an organization ready for bigger and better things. The need certainly is there.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Thanks for considering,</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Ed Morris</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Dec 6, 2015, at 1:18 PM, William Drake <<a href="mailto:william.drake@uzh.ch">william.drake@uzh.ch</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8">less than twelve hours left to cast your ballots…<div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Dec 4, 2015, at 3:09 PM, william Drake <<a href="mailto:william.drake@uzh.ch" class="">william.drake@uzh.ch</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Hi<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’m told that 216 votes have been cast so far, which is lower than one would like given our numbers.
