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

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Dear All,

Thanks a lot, for the questions and good wishes! I tend to agree with
James, there is nothing hostile about posing questions to our list,
especially when it regards the constituency as a whole and the way we
conduct our leadership positions.

One quick clarification though: the Vice-chair position is a recent one,
the most recent version of our Bylaws were approved in a recent ICANN Board
meeting as you can see on the following link:
https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2018-05-13-en.

Either way, as any other EC member, we are all open to us member's
suggestions and your input in every single issue is very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Bruna
