<div dir="auto"><div>Dear James, <div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thank you very much for your reply. As usual the nominations can happen freely and we will have a deadline for all nominated candidates to accept or refuse their nominations. So, in case you wish to nominate someone for any of NCUC executive positions, I would advise to consult with the person if he/she would like to run - especially because we cannot speak on behalf of the EC with regards to their interest in running again :). </div><div dir="auto"><br></div>With regards to our travel supports, our criteria for selecting members as CROP grantees is the location in which they are located. Recently ICANN updated the crop rules and that no longer allows us to select members for travel in between regions - meaning that members based in NA can only apply for CROP support to travel within the NA region. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I hope I have cleared up your doubts. But please write back to us in case you need more clarification. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best </div><div dir="auto">Bruna Santos </div><div dir="auto">NCUC Chair<br><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 23 May 2019, 10:27 KASWESHA, <<a href="mailto:kaswesha@gmail.com">kaswesha@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 dir="auto">Dear Maryam, hope everything is alright.<div dir="auto"> Is there any way you we can have a list of the interested members so that it advises us on who to nominate where? </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I also remember airing on this forum sometimes back that, I migrated from Africa (Kenya) to North America (Kentucky) and asked whether this affected my membership, travel support, vying for any elective position and other activities but the topic was never picked for discussion.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Can the EC kindly shed light on this?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best regards;</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">James N Gitau</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, May 23, 2019, 8:44 AM Maryam Bakoshi <<a href="mailto:maryam.bakoshi@icann.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">maryam.bakoshi@icann.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
