[NCUC-EC] [Ext] Re: NCUC CROP Applications

[Wisdom Donkor]

 Dear All,

We need to decide on this matter.
In fairness to the candidates who have put their names forward for CROP, I
kindly ask that each EC member review the candidates and submit their
recommendation to Andrea by tomorrow, 18th April 2025 at 15:00 pm UTC.

The candidate receiving the highest recommendation gets to receive the CROP
for ICANN 83. Andrea will share the recommendation to the EC after the
deadline for onward confirmation and announcement. If by tomorrow, no
recommendation is received, I will go ahead and appoint one candidate to
receive the CROP.

Regards,
