<p>A recorded call is fine with me, seems easiest. I am pleased to
report that we had our policy committee meeting this morning, and
I have the honour of being the entity who will cast our vote. So
whenever you folks are ready, please just let me know...I am home,
well, you know, doing not much except walking the dog, doing ICANN
calls, staring at the house work....</p>
<p>And no end in sight. <br>

<p>cheers Stephanie</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks Stephanie. My sense is
that we don't have to have an official paper record of
the consultation with Carlton, but I have included
Mary and Chantelle along with Carlos so that together
they can give us guidance if I am mistaken. </p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you think NCSG will be ready
to cast its vote on Monday, April 20? CSG will be
ready by then. Question for Carlos and other ICANN
staff: will you be supplying written ballots (one
for NCSG and one for CSG) or instead may be we just
have either an email exchange or a phone call
whereby we each cast our votes? This is my first
time through this process, so forgive all of my
questions. I have been designated to cast the vote
for CSG and am fine with whatever process you let us
know is appropriate to follow. We are already to
the point where the choices for the vote/ballot
are: (i) Matthew Shears, or (ii) None of the Above.</p>
