<p>As members will have seen, Farzaneh Badii has resigned her council seat, so it is the responsibility of the NCSG Executive Committee to select a replacement until the next election takes place in summer 2020. In order to enable this, we are seeking expressions
of interest in the position. Please send your statement of interest to me, copy Maryam Bakoshi, before the 28th of December. For your interest, the relevant section of the Charter concerning these circumstances is paragraph 2, section 3.2 (copied below).
For information about the current composition of the council see <a href="https://gnso.icann.org/en/about/stakeholders-constituencies/ncsg" target="_blank">
https://gnso.icann.org/en/about/stakeholders-constituencies/ncsg</a>. We appear to have representation from everywhere except North America.

<p>Section 3.2 para 2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In the event that a GNSO Council Representatives is unable to finish his or her term, the NCSG EC will appoint a temporary GNSO Council Representative to serve until the next regularly scheduled election as provided in Section 3.8 of the GOP. At that time,
a new GNSO Council Representative will be elected to serve out the balance of the vacated term, if any.<o:p></o:p></p>
