My apologies Hago but for some reason your message to the list did not come through to me, and is not stuck in some folder, my mailer finds nothing. There has of late been some periodic misbehavior between ncuc-discuss and my account, not sure why. You’ve been added to the Confluence page now.</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Which brings me to a larger issue. Today I’m running an online conference, tomorrow I’m at the Brazilian consulate and packing, and Thursday I’m flying to IGF where I’m in six sessions. So this year I am going to need some help from my fellow EC members as well as Maryam in keeping track of the election. I would really appreciate it if others in that team, especially anyone who’s not traveling, would keep an eye on the list for nominations etc and revise the above Confluence page accordingly. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Maryam, the page should also be amended to include columns on acceptance of the nomination and submission of candidate statement to the list. We’ve had one person, Farzi, already accept the nomination I believe.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Let me remind everyone of the cycle:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">26 Oct. - 8 Nov.: <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Nominations submitted to ncuc-discuss <br class="">9-22 November: <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Candidates submit statements to ncuc-discuss </div><div class="">23 Nov. - 6 Dec.: <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Election period </div><div class="">7 December: <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Results announced</div></blockquote></div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class="">And from the 9th as people accept nominations and submit statements, the questions to be addressed are again below.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks in advance for your help </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bill</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><b class="">IV. Candidate Statements</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">For when we get to this stage, the standard list of questions we’ve asked people over the years is as follows:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1. Why do you want to serve on the EC?</div><div class=""><br class="">2. Provide a brief biography of recent experience, associations, and affiliations relevant to serving on the Executive Committee. Describe the relevance of your personal and professional experience to serve on the NCUC Executive Committee, and identify any conflicts of interests you might have.</div><div class=""><br class="">3. The EC performs several functional responsibilities for the Constituency. What level of time commitment can you bring to your EC role on a weekly and overall basis? Describe any concerns or limitations on your ability to attend online meetings of the Executive Committee and ICANN Meetings in person. </div><div class=""><br class="">4. Communication with the membership is critical. How would you keep members apprised of your EC-related activities?</div><div class=""><br class="">5. How do you foresee NCUC’s function, scale, or role changing in the future? What areas of ICANN policy, if any, need more attention and why? </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Incumbent candidates should answer in a manner that is both backward and forward looking, i.e. taking note of their contributions and work in the previous year.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The statements should be relatively concise, e.g. a couple paragraphs per question. </div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></blockquote></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
