<div dir="ltr">Hi Bruna,<div><br></div><div>Many thanks for sending a summary of our chat and for drawing our attention to this. </div><div><br></div><div>With regards to the transition period, I would like to reecho the question I asked during the call, as I think it is pertinent to our planning process for the next couple of months: What would you like to have learned/heard before running or taking on a leadership role in the EC? What are the key issues that should have been addressed earlier? How can we work with the 4-months timeframe to tackle that?<br></div><div><br></div><div>I think the potential challenges for planning the policy forum needs to be raised within the GNSO and it would be helpful to hear from other SGs (i) whether this is a shared concern and (ii) how they are planning on tackling these and other challenges. I understand that the travel timeline has been set and that we need to abide by it, but we wouldn't want to be overloaded with election process work whilst setting the agenda for the policy forum -- this could be particularly burdensome for the Chairs and staff, but then I am not in the place to say whether that would actually be the case or not, just a perception. </div><div><br></div><div>Have a great weekend!</div><div><br></div><div>All the best, </div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000"><b>Louise Marie Hurel</b></font></div><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" color="#000000"><span style="font-size:11px">Research and Project Development Cybersecurity and Digital Liberties Programme | Igarapé Institute</span></font></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt"><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Louise_Marie_Hurel/publications" target="_blank"><font size="1">Publications</font></a></p><div><font size="1" color="#000000">Skype: louise.dias</font></div><div><font color="#000000" size="1"><span><a href="mailto:louise@igarape.org.br" target="_blank">louise@igarape.org.br</a></span></font></div><div><font size="1" color="#444444"><a href="mailto:louise.marie.hsd@gmail.com" target="_blank">louise.marie.hsd@gmail.com</a> </font></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, 21 Apr 2019 at 18:05, Antonella Perini <<a href="mailto:antomperini@gmail.com">antomperini@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></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">

Because ICANN is backing up travel deadlines in order to cut costs, we now have to have our members names in four months in advance. This will impact the timing of elections, in order to have our new leaders seated at the AGM. We think it would be sensible and labor saving to have all three elections run at the same time.

1.
