A question for you about this. One of the most important things the GNSO Council does is elect someone to the ICANN Board. 
During the last election, it seemed as if the entire NCSG was backing Avri Doria for the Board. During the first round you did vote for Avri, but on the second round, you switched your vote to the other candidate, who was not supported by NCSG. As a result, Avri lost. You were asked at the time why you made this switch, but you never made any reply. Perhaps now would be a good time to do that?
