[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC Election 2013

[Edward Morris]

I know a certain Counsellor elect who started this trend. His name escapes me at the moment though...hmmm...I think it begins with A something :)

I agree. It 's a good trend. In fact, I'd be supportive of bylaws reform that replaced nominations with self registration. That's for the future. 

This election needs to be conducted by the current rules. So please self nominate, nominate, if there's another option please do it. 

A special plea to one group: individual users. I love our friends in civil society and academia. They frustrate me at times but I love them.

With me heading elsewhere for a bit we really need someone  on the EC who is not an academic, who is not part of civil society. I've done my best to represent the unaffiliated this year, because I'm one of them.

A few years ago Robin Gross proposed formation of an Individual Users Constituency. In a world of many constituencies that makes sense. With what's developed, though, it's great to be part of a broader group but it would be nice to have one of us on the EC.

Anybody?

I just wanted to thank all the candidates who've self-nominated from Africa, Asia and Europe for stepping up and wish you all the best with the elections. The initiative you’re all showing is fantastic, and I personally hope to see more of this in the future.

It’d be surprising if an NCUC election were an exception to the rule, but hopefully this don’t make us lose sight of the big picture—our collective commitment to promoting civil society priorities in GNSO/ICANN processes—or prevent us from having a bit of fun while we’re at it.

>> Also, please remember that in order for you to receive a ballot, we must have your correct current email address for the voter list to be submitted to ICANN.  We need to get this to staff before the Buenos Aires meeting starts up next weekend.  Tapani has sent a list of the members who did not respond to him in the Spring at the launch of ncuc-discuss or to Robin's recent NCSG check-in, or who otherwise have not confirmed their addresses.  If your name is on that list and you want to receive a ballot, please be in touch with him at <ncuc at TAPANI.TARVAINEN.INFO> to confirm your address.
