[NCUC-EC] Personnel votes

[Tapani Tarvainen]

Agreed on both.

Ditto for Rafik to continue in the Noncom -
might as well put all personnel selections together now.

At the Durban EC meeting we discussed the fact that we'd never had a situation like this before and would have to improvise a solution.  Since there is not the time or bandwidth to hold a proper election we will have to make a selection, and here we can either flip a coin or try to make a more informed decision.  We've opted for the latter, and so I would hereby like to ask Patrick and Peter to send us a couple paragraphs explaining what your vision is for the EC, how you would go about meeting the requirements of the Asian rep. role as specified in the bylaws, and what specific functional tasks (e.g. sort of work we are trying to get moving through the Teams http://www.ncuc.org/participate/working-teams/) you'd be willing to help lead on.  Hopefully this will give us a non-arbitrary basis for a decision.  If you could get that to us by say mid-August that'd be really helpful.  I hope this is ok by you….

One person suggested the need for alternative candidates, but no such candidate was identified or came forward subsequently.  Accordingly, we will notify ICANN that Rafik shall continue another term as our representative.

This is a really important position; we need someone with the time and knowledge base to actively contribute to constituency and stakeholder group positions on substantive issues being considered in the GNSO Council and beyond.  In addition, if we do decide to reboot a NCUC PC, as is provided for in our bylaws, I would argue that its members should serve on the NCSG PC as well for coordination purposes.  So we have to select someone who's really looking to step up a level or two in their engagement.
