> I was hoping to be able to set up a conference call with all of the
> candidates and members of the NCSG membership.  I have been having a lot of
> difficulty finding a time when all the candidates can make it.  I have
> attached a pdf below that shows the basic problem - there is not time that
> satisfies all of the relevant time zones without forcing someone to
> participate in the middle of the night.
>
> But I personally thought that it was critical for all candidates to be able
> to attend, since not being able to attend might put a candidate at a
> disadvantage.
>
> It was also obvious that with the IGF ongoing this week, the conference
> call would need to be next week, even though the balloting would have
> already started.  This did not concern me greatly, because people can vote
> multiple times with the system we have, with only the last ballot counting,
> i.e. you can change your mind up until the balloting ends on the 17 October
> 2359 UTC-11.
>
> An email alternate was also possible.  A 48-72 hour period could be defined
> for an online debate/interview of the candidates.  This could work as
> follows:
>
> - a set of questions would be posed on the NCSG-Discuss list to all of the
> candidates - each in its own thread (individual subject lines)
> - within the first few hours the Candidates would all send their responses
> to these question.
> - following that the candidates could discuss the issues with each other
> and the members of the NCSG also participate with followup questions.
>
> The advantage of doing it this way is everyone can participate regardless
> of their times zone and the positions of the the candidates would be
> avaialble and archived for the membership to read as they decided on their
> how to vote now, and indeed how to vote in the next elections when it comes
> time to review their performance against their original intentions.
>
> I would like to start this tomorrow 29 September or 30th September at the
> latest.
>
> I would like to get the membership's views on these issues:
>
> - should I continue to try and  find a time when we can have a
> teleconference with all the candidates, knowing this means someone will need
> to participate in the middle of the night? or allowing for a missing
> candidate?
> - should I prepare to initiate an online interview?  if so, is the simple
> procedure I proposed adequate?
>
> In any case, I would like to collect a set of questions for either option.
>  I think  5 questions at most, 3 might be ideal, would be good to start with
> for either model.  I ask NCSG members to suggest the questions you would
> like to see your eight candidates for council, and one candidate for NCSG
> Chair answer.  Please send these in as soon as possible so that I can
> collate them.
