Charter Amendment Process [gnso.icann.org]</a>) approved by the Board. On the other side, our procedures to amend the Bylaws before forwarding them to the board are relatively simple (NCUC Bylaws, section IX - in short, a vote with a doubly qualified quorum)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">However, I believe we don't have the choice of not going through this longer process and changing only the operating procedures. Term limits seem to be a subject of the bylaws (section
I, 'c', although there is margin for other interpretations here), which appears to be confirmed by the provision related to term limits to regional ECs in section IV, 'E', 2) - with this in mind, it would be atypical that a limit to a coordination position
would be established under a hierarchically lower norm of the institution. We could use the operating procedures to say that the regional limits apply to the chair, but this would probably seem too out of place.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Since the process may take a few months, I think it would be better to try to finish it (or go through most of it) before the incoming EC officially starts the activities, because
I assume the first months are the busiest ones. Besides that, the new EC members will be involved nevertheless through the 3 regional representatives that are staying or through participation in the open consultation with the NCUC community that we plan to
do.</p>

ICANN board approval, so any alterations my require a substantial process. So let’s find that out. We may be able to accomplish what we decide through a review of the operating procedures, something which seems to be needed anyway.

term limits for the chair. I have asked others and have been told the intent was for the chair to have the same number of terms as the regional representatives, but according to the bylaws there is no term limit. I went back and forth about the wording on
the wiki and went with the bylaws. According to the bylaws there is no term limit for the chair. Of course, this is completely up to you all and I will gladly change the wording.</span></p>

change(s) we want to make (the healthy divergence we are having here shows us that the specifics of this limit also needs to be discussed with the NCUC as whole), and check with the community if there are any others that could use the opportunity to also be
implemented. This would take at least a few months, so next year's election seems a better option.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Dear Ken,<br>
I meant in my proposal that the chair should serve a single one-year term and should not have the option to run for re-election for a consecutive second year.<br>
From my perspective and experience, this approach encourages fresh perspectives and enables various members to contribute their leadership skills. Additionally, it ensures regular turnover in leadership positions.<br>
Second, I proposed that the chair should be a member who has served on the EC in the current year of the election. (or maybe can be from the last two years, for example). This will ensure that the chair is familiar with the ongoing discussions, decisions, and
challenges faced by the EC. Additionally, it promotes continuity by selecting someone who is already actively engaged in the EC’s work. This idea will be particularly beneficial in the NCUC, where EC members represent the constitutional areas.</p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> In my view, a Chair who understands the context and history of discussions can lead more effectively.</p>
