                        <p>Hi folks, we need to organize on the
                          election of Matthew Shears for Board seat 14. 
                          I have reached out to Carlton Samuels, to tick
                          the box of consulting with our nomcom
                          appointee (no response so far) and I have been

                          hold our election next week in time to offer
                          our name?  The CSG thinks they can. <br>
                        </p>
                        <p>Sorry to push but we have to get
                          this done faster now due to ICANN's revised
                          timelines....since we are agreed on the
