[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC ELECTIONS 2014: NOMINATIONS OPEN 3 - 16 November

[Milan, Stefania]

Great that at least we have a candidate per slot. However, elections to be fun must be a tad competitive, right?
I want to join Bill in encouraging more people to come forward and stand up for election.

I can share my own experience, in the hope to encourage more members to give this option some consideration: believe it or not, being part of the EC is a way of accelerating the learning curve. You don't necessarily have to be an expert or someone with a long history in internet governance. In fact, what you need is to some hours a week to spare (sometimes more, often less than that), and, most importantly, willingness to contribute your ideas and enthusiasm. NCUC needs an engaged and responsive EC able to support the Chair. Being able to answer mails promptly and act as reference point for your region of reference (and create opportunities to speak about NCUC and recruit new members) is key.

Please come forward and make these elections fun! :-)
Stefania

Hi

Great, thanks much João.  So we now have at least one candidate for each of the EC slots, whew.  If anyone else wants to throw a hat into the ring, the deadline is tomorrow Sunday anywhere on earth.

Best

Bill
