This activity has, however, taught me how unqualified I am for clerical tasks, so I will not be surprised if I missed someone, and again will apologize.  If you sent a check-in and are not on the Active list or do not receive a ballot, please get in touch.  I will ask to have you added to the ballot, though I am not sure it will be possible to do so.

The deadline for checking in for the elections will be 20 August 2011.  I will update active/inactive lists after that date - as I am going on vacation later this week I will not be updating the active list before then.

After extensive discussions the ICANN Board approved an amended version of the NCSG charter on 24 June 2011.  The NCSG approved charter states that any amendments by the ICANN Board must be adopted by 60% of the active membership of the NCSG.
