[Ncuc-af] Upcoming NCSG elections

[Remmy Nweke]

Thanks Arsene for bringing this up again.

1. We can also look around and shop for potentials and encourage them.

2. So I encourage us to look inwards, some candidates may be shy to come
out or even selfnominate looking first at the criteria for NCSG including
your humble self.

3. What does NCSG charter say on criteria for EC Membership.

See: Non-‐Commercial Stakeholder Group Charter – v5May 2011 - gNSO - icann
PDFhttps://gnso.icann.org › improvements

4. There is also something I noticed from other regions which is worth
sharing - informal mentorship via engagement and potential in committees
and work groups way ahead of any election.

5. Maybe we start with providing information on Africans in NCSG of date. I
know of Poncellet from NPOC and Farrell from Ncuc both as appointees not
elected. It's unclear which region Rafik is rep. In some instances he
represents Africa and at another Asia Pacific where he lives. I stand for
more education.

6. Both Farrell and Poncellet should be asked to go for electives since
they have been there.

7. While Peter Akinremi and Yaszid, have been active in Ncuc policy and
should be encouraged and supported to replace the two appointees after
election. IMO.

A journey of 1000 starts with a step.

Dear Africa colleagues,

As you know, based on the timeline that i pasted bellow, the nomination
period begings on July 18th and we need candidates from Africa to run for
these elections.

I remember we discussed the need to somehow strategize before nominations
to the NCSG list so we can attempt to have agreed-upon candidates from our
Africa list before they can go public. This is not an easy task but let’s
try it this time.

We need a new NCSG Chair and 3 councilors (only one is term ended, two are
still eligible for another term). We have good profiles here in Africa and
i would encourage you to step forward here in this thread by telling us
which position you are interested in.

I hope we can do this and agree on few names that we will support. And if
you have any question, i am happy to help or look for clarification from
experienced members.

Regards,
Arsene
