Hi Stephanie,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’d very much like to replace Martin in Kobe, if the EC finds me to be an acceptable candidate. As you know, I've already had several years of experience representing the NCSG on the GNSO Council, and have helped to actually draft a number of
the GNSO’s Operating Procedures that guide its work either while serving on the SCI or the GNSO Policy and Implementation WG. I’ve also always closely followed the Council mailing list, and regularly listen in on their monthly calls. I’ve also always made
a point of attending NCSG monthly policy calls to do what I can to help prepare our Councilors for the monthly Council calls. So I’m generally already up-to-speed on what’s on the general Council agenda.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As you also know, I’m very engaged with the EPDP at the time being. Although the EPDP will be done with its first final report by the time ICANN 64 in Kobe happens, the EPDP Team will be engaged in discussion of an access model at that time. It’d
also be very helpful if I can be there in person to participate.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If the the EC does select me as Martin’s replacement, I’d be happy to coordinate with him on any issues he feels strongly about, so that I might better represent him in Kobe.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Amr <br class="">

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://meetings.icann.org/en/kobe64" moz-do-not-send="true">
https://meetings.icann.org/en/kobe64</a>. One of our GNSO Council members, Martin Valent, is unable to attend the meeting because of other commitments and we need to replace him quickly, in order to make use of his travel funding allotment, which is allocated
by Council. This decision is done through the NCSG EC, and we need to make it very quickly. If you are interested in applying to replace Martin at the meeting, please do so in the next five (5) days, sending me and Maryam Bakoshi a brief statement of your
interest, your experience with the council, current working group membership etc. This is not for a novice, Council has a lot of important work on the agenda and if you have not been following the work of Council or the key working groups and policy development
processes at the moment, you will find it a struggle. For those not familiar with GNSO Council, it is pretty easy to get engaged...check out the website, follow the lists, attend the monthly Council calls as an observer, or listen to the recordings of any
of the working groups you are interested in. You will find the website (unlike many at ICANN) is actually well organized and helpful.
