Hi Bill,<div><br></div><div>Greetings from Kilkenny.<br><br><div>Happy with all below. The only problem I see is that Robin is already a member of the NCSG PC, albeit in an ex officio capacity. I'm happy to support Robin for anything, wish she were a candidate to immediately replace Fadi, but wonder if one can both be an ex officio and a voting member of the same committee at the same time. </div>
<div><br></div><div>As for the other items, I've already posted my support for Rafik and would be happy to welcome either Peter or Patrick to the EC via the proposed method.</div><div><br></div><div>Ed</div><div><br></div>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi from Heathrow</div><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><br></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Today or tomorrow when I'm dug out and set up in Geneve I was planning on sending a note to ncuc-discuss on three positions. Would like to make sure we're broadly on the same page here first.</div>
<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><br></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word">*Asian EC Interim: as agreed at the EC meeting, will ask the two candidates to submit a few lines more on what they'd propose to accomplish over the half year, what tasks they're willing to take on, etc. so we have more basis for a selection.</div>
<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><br></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word">*Nomcom. Many people replies saying Rafik should stay in the position for another year. One suggested the need for alternative candidates with, it was argued, deeper networks to draw on, but no such candidate was identified or came forward subsequently. So I propose we just do it and notify ICANN/</div>
<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><br></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word">*NCSG PC. We have to replace Mary, who was one of two NCUC reps there (alongside NPOP reps and Councilors). A complexity here—if we are going to reboot some sort of NCUC PC, I would argue that it's members should serve on the NCSG PC for coordination. So we have to select now based on an abstraction re: UC's future.</div>
<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><br></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word">My pref would be to ask Robin to chair the NCUC PC and serve as a rep on the NCSG PC. This would get her shifted from the admin chair stuff to more substantive policy, where I think she's eager to engage more. There are newer folks I'd like to work in over time, but in this instance I think continuity, clue fulness and demonstrated commitment should count.</div>
<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><br></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Thoughts?</div><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><br></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Bill<br><br></div></div>

<br></div><div>I sent the latest nomcom report to ncuc mailing list , hoping to get membership feedback and let them aware about what is happening in that "secret" place. it was tough meeting this time and I stuck for 4 days with nomcom and not able to join other icann meeting session in the last days (but able to join constituency days and gnso weekend).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am thinking about next steps and how process can be improved there acknowledging that we are in minority and also the ongoing politics . I learned a lot and discovered new things for sure!I will be happy to represent ncuc there again and improving as much as possible the situation.</div>
