That means it should go to someone who is most advancing NCSG’s policy work, particularly the GNSO Council work. Given that important understanding, I think Amr and Farell are the two strongest candidates that we’ve seen so far. Amr is knee-deep in GNSO policy, particularly the EPDP and is just coming off time as a GNSO policy staff member, so Amr really knows what is happening in that space and is best able to advocate for NCSG’s interests there. Farrell is also an active member of the NCSG policy committee, is keeping on top of NCSG policy work, and has made significant contributions on that front in recent months, so he’d be my second choice for this GNSO policy work slot.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks,</div><div class="">Robin<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jan 5, 2019, at 2:09 PM, Raoul Plommer via NCSG-EC <<a href="mailto:ncsg-ec@lists.ncsg.is" class="">ncsg-ec@lists.ncsg.is</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">I think our strongest candidates so far are Amr and Tapani, and because NPOC has only one seat in the council, I'd actually like to see Martin replaced by another competent NPOC member if we had one.

With Dave using NPOC's CROP-slot (as opposed to NCUC's) and Martin missing, we'd only have five members coming to Kobe, as it is.

Hi Stephanie,<br class="">
<br class="">
Count me in. Even though I'm not currently in any working group<br class="">
apart from being an observer in the ePDP, I've been following<br class="">
council list and I've been around long enough to be able to<br class="">
handle this, I think.<br class="">
<br class="">
Regards,<br class="">
<br class="">

First, may I take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and successful New Year! I am looking forward to the great work we will be doing together in 2019.<br class="">
<br class="">
Readers of this list will be aware that the next ICANN public meeting is in Kobe in March
<a class="gmail-m_-1745931914767642746moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://meetings.icann.org/en/kobe64" target="_blank">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.
