<p>I totally agree with Wolfgang. The workload is heavy, and folks
often find themselves alone in digesting many drafts. We should
focus on engaging more people to take on tasks and roles, with
enhancing cooperation.</p>

<div> Hi, <br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Tapani is right: There is no rule which would block to serve
in multiple positions. However, I would NOT recommend to serve
in multiple positions. Do not underestimate the work load which
comes with each position. The risk is high that you loose focus
and are unable to deliver what is needed. This is in particular
true for the new ICANN (3.0) after the IANA transition with its
new complexity. My recent experience with ATRT3 is: 61 Telcos
(2 - 3 hours each, very often during night time), four F2F
meetings (19 days meetings and travel), 360 pages final text
(with and endless series of drafts before the final version was
ready for adoption) within ONE year. </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> The way forward is to have a more efficient mechanism of
enhanced communication among the various positions holders
within the NCSG. </div>

<div> <br>
</div>
<div> I was asked if it is possible to run for multiple
positions at the </div>
<div> same time in NCSG/NCUC/NPOC elections. </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> As far as I can tell there's no rule against it, but there
are </div>
<div> better rule-readers than me here (hi Amr) so... </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> This is not purely theoretical, even though it is not </div>
<div> relevant to the present elections, and it would be good </div>
<div> to be clear about it well before the next round. </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> And this is a good time to collect all things that might </div>
<div> cause problems in elections, loopholes that should be
closed &c. </div>
<div> After the elections are over nobody will have energy to
think </div>
<div> about them. </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Note, the question is about running for the positions, not
about </div>
<div> serving in them at the same time: that is a separate issue
</div>
<div> (interesting in its own right to be sure). </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> That is, one could run for several positions and, if
elected </div>
<div> to more than one, choose one of them at that point. </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> And I'm not talking about whether or not it would be a
good idea, </div>
<div> but about what current rules actually say about it. (We
might </div>
<div> end up wanting to change them, but that's for later.) </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> There are a few distinct cases: </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> First, running for Council (or NCSG Chair) and either </div>
<div> NCUC EC or NPOC ExCom (or Chair of either) at the same
time. </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> As far as I can see the three elections are formally
distinct </div>
<div> so one could indeed run in them all. </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> In the past when the elections were ran at different times
one could </div>
<div> resign from the previously-held position upon being
elected to a new </div>
<div> one, but now when they're simultaneous the situation at
least feels </div>
<div> different (and may even formally be in some cases). </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Second, running for positions in both NCUC and NPOC. </div>
<div> There's clearly no rule against that, indeed there's
precedent </div>
<div> in even serving in both at once. </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Third, could one run for both Council and NCSG Chair at </div>
<div> the same time? I don't see any rule against that either. </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Fourth, running simultaneously for NCUC EC and NCUC Chair,
or NPOC </div>
<div> ExCom and NPOC Chair, or for multiple positions in NPOC
ExCom </div>
<div> (theoretically possible unlike in NCUC, where they're tied
to </div>
<div> regions). </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> NPOC does have a rule excluding councillors from ExCom and
people from </div>
<div> holding multiple ExCom positions at the same time, but it
is not clear </div>
<div> that it applies to *running* for them at the same time
(arguably it </div>
<div> could be so read though). </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> NCUC doesn't seem to have such rules at all, although NCUC
bylaws </div>
<div> implicitly prevent NCUC Chair from being a regional
representative at </div>
<div> the same time and (less clearly) NCSG Chair as well, but I
see nothing </div>
<div> explicit there against councillors being EC members, let
alone against </div>
<div> running for both. </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> NCSG likewise: there's certainly no rule against NCSG EC
members being </div>
<div> also constituency ExCom/EC members or Chairs (indeed it
has happened </div>
<div> quite often in the past), but I can't see any rule against
a </div>
<div> constituency EC member being NCSG Chair either, or even a
councillor </div>
<div> being NCSG Chair. Even if some such limitations could be
implied, I </div>
<div> don't see anything there either against running for
multiple positions </div>
<div> like that, with the intent of serving only in one. </div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Have I missed or misread something? </div>
