Our operating procedures probably needs updating to have a process for this but I have to say the ncuc ec process was not questionable. There are no rules againstVice chair being from the country nor region as the chair and no one else other than Bruna from the EC volunteered to run for the position. </div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Tue, Jun 19, 2018 at 11:09 AM Wisdom Donkor <<a href="mailto:wisdom.dk@gmail.com" target="_blank">wisdom.dk@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>Chair and Vice chair all from Brazil.<div>How come?

<br>
We have started the implementation of our new bylaws and one of the<br>
new positions we have is Vice-Chair.<br>
<br>
The EC elected for new NCUC Vice-Chair is Bruna Martins dos Santos,<br>
from Brasília, Brazil.<br>
<br>
Please join me in congratulating Bruna and wishing her the best on<br>
this new position.<br>
<br>
As a reminder, we have elections right before the ICANN63 meeting so<br>
from that cycle on we'll have a Vice-Chair for the whole year.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Renata<br>
