[NCUC-EC] Conduct of the NCUC Election

[Tapani Tarvainen]

Dear all (but especially Milton and Rafik!),

I got active ncsg members addresses from Robin and did a quick
cross-check with NCUC member database, and now we have there

189 members who replied to either Robin now or to us in the spring
10  members admitted after the spring poll but didn't reply to Robin
106 members who didn't reply to either
1   verified error (person listed as both individual and organization,
    when should've been only the former)

That's based on email check only, so some of the "didn't reply"s
are likely to just have different emails in ncsg and ncuc lists.
Ditto for several ncuc members who don't appear in ncsg list at all
(e.g., ncsg's "william.drake at graduateinstitute.ch" may have
something to do with ncuc's "william.drake at uzh.ch").
I intend to do some more checking to catch obvious errors and
then send a message to those left in the 3rd category.

A bit worrying is that there're several individual NCSG members
who do not appear in NCUC member database at all, namely

 Thierry Sanzhie Bokally
 Edamwen Anthony
 Patricia Senghor
 Cheryl Langdon-Orr

These have apparently been recently admitted to NCSG, and being
individuals they should presumably join NCUC. New organizational
members have also been admitted to NCSG, I don't know if they
all joined NPOC or what.

In our Durban meeting we decided that

"3a. It was agreed that NCUC delegates to the NCSG EC (Milton Mueller
and Rafik Dammak) will notify the NCUC chair and EC without delay
whenever the NCSG EC approves new members who've indicated their
desire to join NCUC, and once admitted to the NCUC, member database
maintainers (Wilson Abigaba and Tapani Tarvainen) will add them to the
database and mailing list."

I have not seen any such notification from Milton or Rafik.

I could have missed them in the list or they could've been sent to
Bill only, or perhaps none of the new NCSG members wanted to join NCUC
(if it's possible to be an individual NCSG member without belonging to
either constituency), but I would like to get some confirmation before
fixing the voter roster.
