[NCUC-DISCUSS] 2019 NCUC Executive Committee Elections: Nominations Start today Thursday 23 May 2019

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Dear James,

Thank you very much for your reply. As usual the nominations can happen
freely and we will have a deadline for all nominated candidates to accept
or refuse their nominations. So, in case you wish to nominate someone for
any of NCUC executive positions, I would advise to consult with the person
if he/she would like to run - especially because we cannot speak on behalf
of the EC with regards to their interest in running again :).

With regards to our travel supports, our criteria for selecting members as
CROP grantees is the location in which they are located. Recently ICANN
updated the crop rules and that no longer allows us to select members for
travel in between regions - meaning that members based in NA can only apply
for CROP support to travel within the NA region.

I hope I have cleared up your doubts. But please write back to us in case
you need more clarification.

Best
Bruna Santos
NCUC Chair
