Betreff: [NCUC-DISCUSS] Appointment of William Drake as NCUC Delegate to the ICANN 2016 Nominating Committee

Dear NCUCers,
On behalf of the EC, I am pleased to announce that William Drake is appointed by EC as the NCUC Delegate to the ICANN 2016 Nominating Committee.
As you have noted, as of 15th, August, we received two candidate SOIs from Remmy and Bill. Afterwards, with Remmy sent us a withdrawal of request, we then chose to appoint the only remaining candidate-Bill as the delegate representing NCUC in NomCom. Congratulations to Bill.
And we also thank Remmy for expressing interest in this selection. Hope see you do so in future around NCUC and ICANN community.
Thanks for everybody's time and attention.
Best RegardsPeter Green
