<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Stephanie,</div><div><br></div><div>I think there is simple distinction. PC confirm NCSG policy positions, letters and public comments, make the appointments for representing NCSG in WGs and committees, and as chair I ensure that is done. However, NCSG chair liaises with other groups: SG/C, SO/AC etc, communicate with them and for staff the SG chair is the point of contact and is added to all relevant leadership mailing lists.</div><div>for EPDP case, it would have be awkward if I communicated the appointment as I am vice chair of the EPDP team and GNSO council liaison :)</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Rafik</div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Le ven. 20 déc. 2019 à 23:07, Stephanie Perrin <<a href="mailto:stephanie.perrin@mail.utoronto.ca">stephanie.perrin@mail.utoronto.ca</a>> a écrit :<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<div>thanks, </div>
<div>so we can elevate Stefan from alternate to representative and send a note to GNSO secretariat. the communication should come from NCSG chair.</div>
<div>for adding an alternate, I believe we should identify if there is any potential candidate. I am wondering if call for candidate will produce a sufficient pool of candidates who can step up .</div>

</div>
<div>thanks for the comments. I guess one first step is to confirm Stefan willingness and commitment to be rep for the rest of phase 2.</div>
<div>there is also the suggestion if we need to replace the alternate or not.</div>
