“mission and principles” and fix the typos in section 1B. I discovered and corrected another typo in that section, “educations” should be “educational.”

and Milton here our veterans to see if they want to object to any of the changes or have better ideas. If not I will send this report to Benedetta tomorrow <o:p></o:p></span></p>

has two constituencies at the moment it might have more constituencies in the future. We don't see the need to make that change and we have mentioned that NCUC is a constituency of NCSG. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

a replacement until the election. I disagree with BC that we need to change this provision. When the duration is shorter than 6 months it serves the region better to have an EC member. Our members have voted on this and we keep it. We also suggest that to
bring more democratic values to their processes, BC considers term limits with no exceptions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

it may be helpful to note that the NCUC has an independent part-time Secretariat that assists on matters of voting and elections, and the ICANN Ombudsman is a available to provide input on challenging decisions.</span><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">"</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
