<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">During the NCSG Constituencies meeting, we asked for
feedback on the last changes suggested in the Operating Procedures review
document, to gather feedback from the NCSG community joining us online. Here is
the document Pedro prepared with the info of the whole process and what was
voted due to the changes added in the last Public Comment: </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bXEz1oqD2vhESvsoygYHQx2tgdyKm9UBo4wMVOi-Be0/edit?tab=t.0" style="color:rgb(70,120,134)" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bXEz1oqD2vhESvsoygYHQx2tgdyKm9UBo4wMVOi-Be0/edit?tab=t.0</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"> We didn't get any comments or opposition regarding the
non-controversial changes, and, regarding the controversial ones, the feedback
we got was:</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">About
the timeline for the EC to decide on candidates (Section II (A)), the
community showed a broad support for the text listed in Option 3:
"The call for candidates should normally take place immediately after
the new Executive Committee (EC) takes <b><u>office</u></b>, after
the AGM. During the first meeting, the EC shall decide on the candidate.
The newly selected individual shall commence their term at the first ICANN
meeting of the year.” </li>
<ul style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in" type="circle">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Note:
a correction of the text was made, highlighted and underlined here.</li>
</ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">About
the limitation of the accumulation of positions appointed by the NCUC with
other leadership positions that have travel support, the option that
received the most support was "Unless strictly necessary, the
candidate should not be in any other leadership position within the NCSG
or its constituencies, or should resign from their current leadership
position". The option of keeping the previous text (which is the
same, without the "unless strictly necessary" part) was the
second most voted for.</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><b>I am calling a vote of the NCUC EC for the approval of
the final text, with (i) the incorporation of non-controversial suggestions,
and (ii) the incorporation of the wording supported by the community of the
controversial ones.</b> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Pedro has already altered the document with those changes,
so this is the final version we are voting on, still with the marked
modifications: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PRPv-MFLbRskBsvGkn7zoBEhQvZLk9pEZx9yvqzwhi4/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.e9nadmiplwqm" style="color:rgb(70,120,134)" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PRPv-MFLbRskBsvGkn7zoBEhQvZLk9pEZx9yvqzwhi4/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.e9nadmiplwqm</a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Since the community feedback is not binding, EC members
can also vote in support of other options.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">We need to vote on the approval or not by the end of the
