<div dir="auto"><div>This email thread raises an important issue that I find contradicting to what the </div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:sans-serif">NCUC/NCSG/NPOC</span> communities preaches. The tremendous efforts in capacity building programs and outreach to bringing new members to contribute to the policy work and leadership roles at the same time the stated bylaws doesn't help on this regards.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks Tapani for pointing that the bylaws does allows that. I think it might be that these bylaws were put at the time when there were few volunteers. But now the community is growing, hence there is need to revisit these bylaws to encourage new members to get into the leadership roles as an incentive to their actual contributions to the community work whether it is in policy or on managerial work. <br><br>I suggest to add this suggestion on the agenda for discussion at ICANN 63 meeting.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best wishes </div><div dir="auto">Nadira </div><div dir="auto"><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Oct 10, 2018, 22:31 Tapani Tarvainen <<a href="mailto:ncuc@tapani.tarvainen.info">ncuc@tapani.tarvainen.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">This discussion has become a bit weird. After all:<br>
<br>
* There's nothing in any bylaws or charters against being in NCUC EC<br>
and NPOC EC at the same time.<br>
<br>
* There's no inherent conflict of interest between NCUC and NPOC, and<br>
should there be such in some individual case, David presumably will<br>
recuse himself.<br>
<br>
* David make his plan perfectly clear before the election, voters knew<br>
it and voted him in.<br>
<br>
Admittedly this is a completely new situation, and it is an open<br>
question how well it will work, but NCUC members have chosen to let<br>
David try it. If it does cause problems, by all means let's fix them,<br>
but I find it odd people are saying we should try to prevent this<br>
situation from reoccurring before we've seen how it works out now.<br>
<br>
As for travel slots, I would find it inappropriate if David were to<br>
declare he'll only accept them from one constituency. Whatever he<br>
does, he should treat NCUC and NPOC as equally as possible. Of course<br>
this situation calls for more cooperation and coordination between<br>
NCUC and NPOC ECs than before, but I don't think that's a bad<br>
thing.<br>
