Hi All

I would like to nominate Benjamin Akinmoyeje from Nigeria for EC Africa position.
Benjamin Akinmoyeje is an ICANN fellow, AFriNIC fellow who has  been a member of NCUC for over 3 years, he is a member of the (NCUC) Membership Engagement Team. He has at one time contributed to NCUC blog. He is a warm outspoken who engages actively at various ICANN events and communities. He desires to learn and bring more NCUC engagement to Africa. He is presently a volunteer in GNSO RDS PDP WG - where he is reading heaps of documents in order to contribute actively.

Benjamin's presence in the EC will bring a new energy that will increase participation of some diversity group.
I recommend Benjamin strongly for this position

 

Regards!

Objet : [NCUC-DISCUSS] [Election] NCUC election for 2017 

 

Hi everyone,

It is time for NCUC to hold its annual election for Chair and Executive Committee for 2017. For this year, we are also going to vote for the amended charter. I. Positions The positions to be filled are: 1. Chair [currently held by Rafik Dammak, was elected to GNSO council] 2. EC – Europe [currently held by Farzaneh Badii, eligible for another term]
3. EC - Africa [currently held by Grace Githaiga, term limited] 4. EC – Asia/Australia/Pacific [currently vacant] 5. EC – North America [currently held by Milton Mueller, eligible for reelection] 6. EC – Latin America/ Caribbean [currently held by João Carlos R. Caribe, eligible for reelection] Biographies on the current members are available from http://www.ncuc.org/governance/executive-committee/ 

NCUC EC really needs committed volunteers who are willing to donate a few hours a week to collaboration in order to help ensure that civil society's voice is heard in ICANN. The EC’s responsibilities are administrative management, in-reach and outreach, and interfacing with ICANN’s staff and community as needed. NCUC Chair has also several duties and roles to fulfill. If you think that you or someone you know would be well suited to the tasks involved, then please consider nominating accordingly. 

NCUC Bylaws Amendments Approval

The election will also concern the approval of the new NCUC charter. According to article VIII of the current NCUC bylaws:

"Charter amendments shall be passed if at least two thirds of the votes cast in the election favor its adoption (provided 40% or more of the eligible Voters cast a ballot in the election)."

Because of the charter amendment, we really need a good turnout and participation of our membership in the vote,

The information about the ballot, how to vote and cast ballot would be shared later.

II. Timetable The process begins this coming Monday, 31st October. The timetable will be as follows: 

31 Oct. - 13 Nov.:  Nominations period , nomination to be submitted to NCUC list 
14 Nov-20 November:    Candidates submit statements to NCUC list , including the candidates/members call
21 Nov. - 4 Dec:  Election period / charter vote
5 Dec: Results announcement

During the first two-week period, any member can self-nominate or nominate any other member http://www.ncuc.org/about/members/.


 <http://www.ncuc.org/about/members/> Members | NonCommercial Users Constituency

www.ncuc.org <http://www.ncuc.org> 

NCUC's membership has reached 520 members from 145 countries, including 118 noncommercial organizations and 402 individuals. Thank you, new members, for joining NCUC ...

In the second period, the nominees must notify colleagues via the mail list whether they accept the nomination, and if they do, submit a candidate statement (see below) . 

At the voting period, ballots will be emailed from this email address tally at icann.org <mailto:tally at icann.org>  . Staff will then run the tally software and announce the vote, and the new EC will be set up soon thereafter. Only those who check-in and included in the voters list will receive the ballot.

III. Participation

We will conduct a quick check-in process to build the voter list, similar to the process done for NCSG election. The process will start soon. You just need to respond to the email to be considered as active and added to the voters list. 

if you would like to correct current email address in our data base in order for staff to send you a ballot. So within the next couple weeks, Maryam Bakoshi will send mail to every address in our data base asking for a reply email confirming that it is the valid address for the individual member or organizational representative listed at http://www.ncuc.org/about/members/ . Please make sure that her message does not get lost in a spam filter. Her address maryam.bakoshi at icann.org <http://lists.ncuc.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ncuc-discuss>  IV. Candidate Statements For the statement, the nominated candidate should answer: 1. Why do you want to serve on the EC? 2. Provide a brief biography of recent experience, associations, and affiliations relevant to serving on the Executive Committee. Describe the relevance of your personal and professional experience to serve on the NCUC Executive Committee, and identify any conflicts of interests you might have. 3. The EC performs several functional responsibilities for the Constituency. What level of time commitment can you bring to your EC role on a weekly and overall basis? Describe any concerns or limitations on your ability to attend online meetings of the Executive Committee and ICANN Meetings in person. 4. Communication with the membership is critical. How would you keep members apprised of your EC-related activities? 5. How do you foresee NCUC’s function, scale, or role changing in the future? What areas of ICANN policy, if any, need more attention and why? Incumbent candidates should answer in a manner that is both backward and forward looking, i.e. taking note of their contributions and work in the previous year. The statements should be relatively concise, e.g. a couple paragraphs per question. V. "Meet the Candidates” confcall

In the week prior to the voting period, we will organize a confcall for the membership to ask candidates. The date/time will be decided and shared during that week.

There will be further communication to give more details about the process and responding to your questions and inquiries.

Best Regards,

Rafik Dammak

NCUC chair
