Perhaps Martin can be encouraged to “shadow” Avri in Copenhagen and she can familiarize him with some of the things going on if he needs it.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Hi,<br>
<br>
First thanks for appointing me for the one week slot filling in while<br>
the EC figures out how it wants to proceed. I appreciate the confidence.<br>
<br>
I just want to indicate that I am willing to serve as the Temp Alternate<br>
for as long as it is useful to NCSG for me to do so. I think that given<br>
the proximity of the Copenhagen meeting, serving until then would<br>
certainly be something I am willing to do. I am also willing to serve<br>
longer if that is desired and useful.<br>
<br>
One thing the EC may want to consider is holding our elections early, so<br>
that the person elected to fill Amr's seat could then go in as the<br>
Alternate and start serving early. I will not be running for a council<br>
seat as I think 7 years as an (s)elected council member (5 as NCA<br>
selected and 2 as NCSG elected) is long enough and am happy sitting in<br>
the alternate bullpen* for deployment during emergencies and the like.<br>
<br>
In any case I also want to offer my help to anyone who is appointed,<br>
should they need or desire any help that I might be able to offer.<br>

<br>
As Amr Elsadr resigned from the council upon joining the staff, the<br>
NCSG Executive Committee needs to appoint a temporary alternate to<br>
replace him.<br>
<br>
If you are interested in the job, please let me know as soon as<br>
possible, but no later than Wednesday February 22 (one week from now).<br>
The appointment is on the agenda of EC meeting on February 24, and we'd<br>
want to have list of names at least two days in advance so we'll have<br>
time to review them.<br>
<br>
Please explain why you think you'd be good for the task and confirm<br>
you could commit to the time it takes. Jumping in to the council<br>
mid-term is not easy, so experience is one key criteria for the EC in<br>
considering the appointment.<br>
<br>
The term extends until ICANN60 in the fall in Abu Dhabi, although the<br>
appointment can be made for a shorter time if the EC so chooses.<br>
If this makes a difference for you, for example if you'd only be able<br>
to do shorter time, or if you would not be interested in a shorter<br>
appointment, let us know that, too.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
