              members<br>
              <br>
              We are currently working on NCUC elections timeline, which
              is bound to<br>
              happen after NCSG elections.<br>
              <br>
              We will start sharing more information on election
              procedures then in August.<br>
              <br>
              But I will anticipate that I am not running for elections
              in 2019 for<br>
              personal reasons.<br>
              <br>
              It has been great working with NCUC, NCSG, NPOC members
              and I am sure<br>
              there will still be a lot of collaboration and friendships
              we`ll carry<br>
              on.<br>
              <br>
              So let's get ready to participate actively on all the
              upcoming process<br>
              (elections, policy and governance) and i hope we can have
              a great<br>
              meeting in ICANN63.<br>
              <br>
              As I have always said, there are many opportunities to
              engage with<br>
              NCUC and ideally elections should be a time where all
              participate to<br>
              the most, as candidates, voters or debating improvements.<br>
              <br>
              Thanks<br>
              <br>
              Renata<br>
