>> Dear EC,
>>
>> During the NCSG Constituencies meeting, we asked for feedback on the last
>> changes suggested in the Operating Procedures review document, to gather
>> feedback from the NCSG community joining us online. Here is the document
>> Pedro prepared with the info of the whole process and what was voted due to
>> the changes added in the last Public Comment:

>>
>> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bXEz1oqD2vhESvsoygYHQx2tgdyKm9UBo4wMVOi-Be0/edit?tab=t.0
>>
>>  We didn't get any comments or opposition regarding the non-controversial
>> changes, and, regarding the controversial ones, the feedback we got was:
>>
>>    - About the timeline for the EC to decide on candidates (Section II
>>    (A)), the community showed a broad support for the text listed in Option 3:
>>    "The call for candidates should normally take place immediately after the
>>    new Executive Committee (EC) takes *office*, after the AGM. During
>>    the first meeting, the EC shall decide on the candidate. The newly selected
>>    individual shall commence their term at the first ICANN meeting of the
>>    year.”
>>       - Note: a correction of the text was made, highlighted and
>>       underlined here.
>>    - About the limitation of the accumulation of positions appointed by
>>    the NCUC with other leadership positions that have travel support, the
>>    option that received the most support was "Unless strictly necessary, the
>>    candidate should not be in any other leadership position within the NCSG or
>>    its constituencies, or should resign from their current leadership
>>    position". The option of keeping the previous text (which is the same,
>>    without the "unless strictly necessary" part) was the second most voted for.
>>
>> *I am calling a vote of the NCUC EC for the approval of the final text,
>> with (i) the incorporation of non-controversial suggestions, and (ii) the
>> incorporation of the wording supported by the community of the
>> controversial ones.*
>>
>> Pedro has already altered the document with those changes, so this is the
>> final version we are voting on, still with the marked modifications:
>> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PRPv-MFLbRskBsvGkn7zoBEhQvZLk9pEZx9yvqzwhi4/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.e9nadmiplwqm
>>
>>
>>
>> Since the community feedback is not binding, EC members can also vote in
>> support of other options.
>>
>> We need to vote on the approval or not by the end of the AGM, and a
>> majority of votes is the quorum to approve the review.
>>
>> On this note, I kindly urge all EC members to submit their vote whether
>> in support of or against the approval to Andrea at
>> *andrea.glandon at icann.org* by *12:00 p.m. UTC+00*.
