*Nomination Process:

Any member of the NCUC may nominate any NCUC active member either for the
position of an NCUC Executive Committee Representative or for NCUC Chair
simply
by sending their nomination to this list. Once nominated, the nominee is
responsible for public acceptance of the nomination and for making a public
statement that includes:

 * Name, declared region of residence, gender and employment;
 * Any conflicts of interest;

Questions:
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

Election details, the nominations, their acceptance and candidacy
statements will all be posted to the 2016 elections wiki page:

 https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomuserconst/Elections+2016

Finally check-in process is ongoing for those who didn't do yet for the
annual NCSG election.

Best regards,

Rafik Dammak

NCUC Chair
