[NCUC-EC] CROP ICANN65 - Deliberation due april 27th

[Louise Marie Hurel]

Hi all,

Thanks, Bruna for sending all of the applications together, much
appreciated.

While I think it is important to provide opportunities for new members to
attend meetings, I'm also mindful that the Policy Forum is one of the core
moments of the year for F2F policy discussions. In this case, I think a
person with a greater understanding of how ICANN and NCUC, and the PDP
works would benefit more from attending the meeting. With that in mind, my
vote goes to Benjamin.

All the best,

*Louise Marie Hurel*
