[NCUC-DISCUSS] [Announcement] NCUC new Vice-Chair

[Elsa S]

Hi Wisdom,

Thank you for your email and for being cognisent of the need to be fair to
all. I had to jump in and highlight that your concern is not really in
place on this specific issue since the EC followed the procedure by which
the revised bylaws state:

- IV Executive committee - I - The Vice Chair: 1. A member of the EC may be
designated as Vice Chair by a majority vote of the EC. (For your reference:
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/revised-bylaws-ncuc-17oct17-en.pdf
)

The change in bylaws which introduced this matter took a long while, and as
you know it only got into effect very recently. Which is why it is
understandable as to why this process could have been a bit confusing.

However, please try to refrain from blaming the EC when they simply are
followig procedure. The exchange which included the voting can be found
publicly in our lists. And I’m sure my fellow EC and of course I’m
available to answer any question if need be my friend!

Thank you very much,

Elsa
