Generally, I'd like to point out that this agenda was a suggested agenda, on my behalf, that was sent for edits and comments. Since no edits or comments were made, the attendees took this agenda into account. I also have a question, will we be sent a transcript of the meeting? Because my impression of the meeting outcomes was much more positive than the outcomes I see reported below.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Best,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">Elsa Saade</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">--</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 26, 2018 at 7:14 AM, Renata Aquino Ribeiro <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:raquino@gmail.com" target="_blank">raquino@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Dear all <br><br>These are my appointments from NCUC EC Call last Friday.<div><br></div><div>Present in this call were Elsa Saade, Louise Hurel and Ines Hfaiedh</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"></span><font color="#0000ff" style="font-family:georgia,serif">As far as I understood Ines could not really make it through the call, due to connection errors.</font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" style="font-family:georgia,serif"></font> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Apologies from Michael Karanicolas and Bruna Santos</div><div><br>I've recovered Elsa Saade's agenda here:<br><br>1.

The way I saw the discussion unfolding was extremely positive, and had no reference to any infringement, rather praise with a call for betterment. I'd like to have some clarification on why it comes to Renata as a surprise that we'd like to evaluate our efficiency in the last 5 months.</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255);font-family:georgia,serif"></span> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#ff0000"></font><br>a.

The point did not mean ICANN 61, rather a general NCUC EC procedural point regarding transition from one EC to another.</span></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div><br><br>2.

Accordingly, as this was an opportunity offered to me as Alumni of the Fellowship Program I did not see the need to communicate this to the EC or the Chair on this specific call that aimed to address the EC and Chair "appointments".

Responsibilities and Time Management + Deadline setting<br><br><font color="#ff0000">Unfortunately ICANN organization sets deadlines and emails have to be publicized for members knowledge as soon as the information is available for transparency and information of our members. So, there isn't really a possibility on "holding off" on emails for 1 day a week so the EC can have a lesser email volume. Advice remains that the EC change to digest mode or web-only messages. Staff can help with that. Whenever Chair or Staff reaches out to EC offlist is because a deadline is approaching and needs to have EC feedback. However, we strive to move with tasks as best as possible on time with majority of votes, as Procedures outline. </font></div><div><br>3. AOB<br></div></div>
