I'd also like to encourage each of our members to participate in the election and to please VOTE FOR the CHARTER.  :-)  
This is really a big moment for non-commercial users at ICANN - to have a reformed GNSO with parity between commercial and noncommercial users.   
Our adversaries have been able to prevent us from having a good NCSG charter before now (remember last year when a crippling staff-drafted divide-and-conquer charter was imposed on us!)  
At last we have been permitted to draft a charter in a truly bottom-up fashion that meets the needs of noncommercial users, and I'm encouraged that it will be accepted by the board and we can finally move forward to substantive policy matters.  But we need all of the membership to participate in the election and affirmatively support the charter for it to pass.
So please, vote for the charter.  Search your email if you haven't received the ballot yet (let me or Avri know if you don't have a ballot).
Also, we all owe a huge debt of thanks to Avri, who has been working very hard on finalizing this charter and organizing the election in time for the Brussels mtg next month.  Thank you, Avri!
Best,Robin
