<div class="moz-forward-container"> Hi everyone!
<p>I am resending my earlier note from April 24th concerning the
upcoming elections for GNSO Council and NCSG Chair. Here are
the timelines for our activities as a stakeholder group,
related to those elections. Please note that the check in
period is well advanced, and you should check in now if
possible. If you have not received a checkin notice from
Maryam Bakoshi, please reach out to her OFFLIST. I have
included her in cc separately, for your convenience. Please
remember that this year elections for NCSG, NCUC and NPOC
elections are all going on at the same time, and you need to
pay attention to each separately depending on your membership.
<br>
</p>
<p> For further details about how our elections are conducted,
please see the NCSG Charter, available here:</p>

<p>We need to elect four councilors, and the NCSG Chair. I have
listed all of our current councilors, for your convenience, so
you can see the regional distribution. As you know, we strive
for gender balance and regional distribution, with no more
than two candidates from a region as far as possible.<br>

<p>As you can see, we have only two weeks for the nomination
period, and it started today!! Please help us find suitable
candidates interested in filling these volunteer positions. I
would like to encourage you all to consider applying and am
happy to answer any questions from you concerning the roles
and responsibilities. I am sure that all the councillors
listed would also be happy to answer any questions about what
the jobs entail on Council, so I have put them in cc for your
convenience as well.<br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
