<div>That's why i asked you first. The readon for joining would simply be the way i function: need clear tasks and commitments to which to be linked by a sense of guilt! Otherwise regular work (which is a lot) takes over... :) <br>

<div>Dear Bill</div>
<div>I would be interested in joining the PC. After a year of learning (and much more to go of course), i think it is time to dedicate some energies to policy more directly. What do you think?</div>

<div>Early in the year, after consultation with members, the NCUC PC appointed Stephanie Perrin and Marilia Maciel to serve as our representatives on the NCSG PC. As you will know, both of these successful reps have recently been elected to the GNSO Council,
so we will need to replace them. This message is to solicit expressions of interest in filling these roles. It is hoped that we can make a final selection and have new people in place by the Annual Meeting in Los Angeles; the NCSG PC meets on Sunday 12 October.</div>

<div>These are two of the very most important positions we have in NCUC. According to the NCSG charter, </div>

<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div><i>The NCSG Policy Committee is responsible for:<br>
<br>
</i>
<div><i><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• Discussion and development of substantive policies and statements issued in the name of the NCSG. This activity will require coordination with the membership and the Constituencies;<br>

<div><i><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• Organize, appoint where appropriate, and track NCSG participation in GNSO and other pertinent Working Groups.<br>
<br>
</i></div>
<div><i><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• Organization and oversight of NCSG participation in any GNSO Council- related tasks, whether mandated by Bylaws, Council Procedures or Council decisions.<br>
<br>
</i></div>
<div><i><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• Document methods and procedures used for decision-making. Such documentation is subject to review by the NCSG-EC.<br>
<br>
2.5.1. NCSG-PC Composition.<br>
<br>
The NCSG–PC shall be comprised of two representatives from each Recognized Constituency and one observer from each Candidate Constituency. The NCSG Representatives on the GNSO Council shall also serve as full members of the NCSG- PC. The NCSG Chair will participate
as an ex-officio member of the NCSG-PC and will be included in determining consensus process and votes. Past GNSO Council Representatives may be included as observers in the NCSG-PC. The membership of the NCSG-PC may invite others to participate as observers.<br>
<br>
2.5.2. NCSG-PC Decision making<br>
<br>
</i></div>
<i>• By default NCSG-PC decisions are made by rough consensus of full NCSG-PC members. Rough consensus means that while all members do not need to agree and that no single member can veto a decision, all views must be heard and considered. Any minority views
must be recorded along with the rough consensus position.<br>

</div>
<div>The public archive for the PC’s discussions is at <a href="http://mailman.ipjustice.org/listinfo/pc-ncsg">http://mailman.ipjustice.org/listinfo/pc-ncsg</a>. Perusing this would give one a clearer idea of the actual workload and responsibilities.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is really really important that we put people into these slots who are fully in tune with the views and traditions of NCUC and NCSG; well appraised (or able to become so) of the substantive issues being discussed in GNSO and related processes; fully
committed to doing the work (including attending monthly NCSG policy calls, collaborative document drafting, timely voting on proposed outputs, and the like); and able to work well with their colleagues on the PC and to coordinate with the NCUC EC and wider
membership as necessary. In short, we need top notch, fully committed candidates.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We welcome nominations and self-nominations to fill these two slots. Nominees who wish to be considered should send a few paragraphs to the members’ list outlining their interests and engagement in constituency/stakeholder group work, their qualifications
for and ability to perform these particular functions, and any other relevant information. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>The time frame unfortunately will need to be tight. The NCUC EC will begin to evaluate the candidate pool on 29 September, with an eye toward announcing selections a few days thereafter. It would be ideal if the selectees are able to attend the Los
Angeles meeting; if necessary, NCUC may be able to defray part of their costs as part of the new travel policy that will be announced shortly.</b></div>
