<div dir="ltr">Dear NCSG Colleagues,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With thanks to Stephanie Perrin for the intervening
informal coordination we have conducted between the two of us,
I am writing with the goal of helping us as NCPH move along
the official process for selection of Board Seat 14.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have now confirmed that neither CSG nor NCSG have any
other candidates to put forward for Board Seat 14 other than
Matthew Shears. In terms of the process set forth in Annex 7
of the GNSO Operating Procedures for the election of Board
Seat 14:
<a href="https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-7-ncph-election-procedures-seat-14-24oct19-en.pdf" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-7-ncph-election-procedures-seat-14-24oct19-en.pdf</a> our
GNSO NomCom Appointee (NCA) will be included in the
consultation process as an advisor. Given the close
relationship that NCSG has with Carlton Samuels, our NCA, has
NCSG consulted with him so that we may "tick" this item as
complete off of the Annex 7 procedure? If not, will you be OK
with taking that point on? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>From our review of Annex 7 within the CSG and our internal
discussion, we think we will be ready to have the formal
election as set forth in Section 5 of Annex 7 by the end of
the month. Therefore, we would like to propose Wednesday,
April 29 for the vote if that works for the NCSG. Per
consensus of the CSG, I will be taking on the role of the
official voter for the CSG. Please let us know if this date
will work for the NCSG or if the NCSG wishes to propose an
alternative date.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking forward to hearing back from you and sending good
thoughts to all and please stay safe and healthy.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
<div>Dean</div>
