<p dir="ltr">Hi Remmy,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks for the questions.<br>
All positions are open for nomination as like in every election. those eligible for another term are indicated by"eligible for reelection" or "eligible for another term". I should have been consisted there to avoid confusion. Grace is term-limited. For myself as indicated during NCSG GNSO council election, I am not running for another term as NCUC chair. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Best.</p>
