[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCSG EC Update

[Zalnieriute, Monika]

Dear NCUC members,



I am writing to You as a NCUC Representative to the NCSG Executive Committee, to provide summaries of the decisions and discussion that have taken place within our meetings.


By the way of background, the NCSG Executive Committee is responsible for working with the NCSG Chair to make sure the NCSG functions according to its mission and principles. The NCSG-EC is responsible for supervising and monitoring the NCSG Chair’s performance of executive functions, and the NCSG-EC may call for a new chair election. The NCSG‑EC is also responsible for establishing and overseeing membership criteria, rules, as well as reviewing and approving applications to form new Constituencies in accordance with the Section 2.3 of the NCSG Charter and any applicable Constituency Recognition Process approved by the ICANN Board of Directors. The NCSG-EC’s formation, functions, composition and duties within the NCSG are set out in Section 2.4 of the NCSG Charter.



The NCSG EC had a face-to-face meeting today, on the 28th June in Johannesburg, and I am writing to update You all on what has been discussed and decided.



The following EC members participated in the meetings:

1.     Joan Kerr, NPOC Rep

2.     Monika Zalnieriute, NCUC Rep

3.     Tapani Tarvainen, NCUC (NCSG Chair)



As EC operates on a basis of full consensus, the decisions made on the 28th June are pending Robing Gross (NCUC) and Poncelet Ileleji (NPOC) approval/possible objection, as they were not participating in the meeting and could not express their opinion.



During this meeting, the EC:



1.     Discussed and approved a number of new membership applications;

2.     Discussed the NCSG election reform, before the upcoming NCSG elections in August 2017. Discussion about ways to modify/clarify our election procedures are taking place on the dedicated NCSG mailing list, those interested please join the mailings list. https://lists.ncsg.is/pipermail/election-reform/2017-May/000002.html. It is important that the views of the NCUC are represented in this process.

3.     Discussed a Constituency Review, that NCSG Executive Committee is conducting as required by NCSG Charter 2.3.3, to determine if any recommendation should be made
to the Board regarding a change in status of any Constituency.



Thank you all,



Best wishes,



Monika
