Are we talking about the elections or the transition? Transition doesn't<br>
have to take place right after the elections. And it should not. So the<br>
current EC will carry out its tasks in Barcelona and then do the transition<br>
after that.<br>
<br>
I don't know why EC is discussing the NCUC elections now. NCSG elections<br>
are going to start soon and Maryam is also doing npoc elections and<br>
preparing for NCSG elections. By discussing ncuc elections now we will<br>
overburden Maryam. The timeline doesn't look bad to me but looks like for 4<br>
days it will be in parallel to NCSG elections. Might this confuse the<br>
members?<br>
<br>
I also saw that in the list of elections Renata mentions the councilors.<br>
councilors get elected at NCSG level. I don't recommend having that in your<br>
announcement because I will announce it to NCSG and it might confuse people<br>
<br>

Hi Farzaneh,<br>
<br>
Actually "shall" is not same as "may", it can also mean "must", or<br>
something a bit different than either, depending on context and<br>
jurisdiction. (I am aware of US Supreme Court 2013 decision Arizona v.<br>
The Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc. It does not answer the<br>
question definitively in general.)<br>
<br>
Perhaps "may" is the more reasonable interpretation in this case,<br>
but it's not entirely obvious and in general it pays to be careful<br>
about ambiguities with "shall".<br>
<br>
E.g., Black's Law Dictionary:<br>
<br>
'What is SHALL?<br>
<br>
As used in statutes and similar instruments, this word is generally<br>
imperative or mandatory; but it may be construed as merely permissive<br>
or directory, (as equivalent to “may,”) to carry out the legislative<br>
intention and In cases where no right or benefit to any one depends on<br>
its being taken in the imperative sense, and where no public or<br>
private right is impaired by its interpretation in the other sense.'<br>
<br>
