<p>In which case, I am happy to step back and permit the PC to

him, as yet. Over to you, Rafik.<br>

<p>I need to consult you guys, then we (csg and
ncsg) need to set up an election, where we pick
someone to vote for us, and if we get two votes for
Matthew (ie each side votes for him) we tell staff and
Council he is our nominee. It seems a bit clumsy but
since we have had a meltdown in the past, we needed

<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
chatting with Dean Marks from the CSG, who is
keen to cooperate. We are trying to meet this
new deadline of April 20, can we organize to
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
candidate, it is just paperwork....<br>
</p>
<p>cheers Steph<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">I would
like to apologize for bringing up this
topic at this late stage, and at a time
when I know that many community members
are focusing on important personal and
family matters during the current
COVID-19 situation. Please understand
that we as staff would not have raised
this were it not a Bylaws-related
matter. </span></p>
<div><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span><br>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Here is
the issue: under the ICANN Bylaws,
formal notification of a nominee for
either Board seat 13 or 14 must be
provided to the Empowered Community
Administration at least six (6) months
prior to the commencement of that
potential Director’s term. As the 2020
Annual General Meeting is due to
conclude on 22 October 2020 (which we
realize is somewhat earlier than
previous AGMs), this means that <u>the Empowered Community
Administration must receive the
Non-Contracted Parties House (NCPH)
nomination of a Director to fill Board
seat 14 by <b>22 April 2020</b></u>
(and not May as we had advised you
previously).</span></p>

understand that the NCPH’s current plan
is to hold the formal vote (via a CSG
and NCSG representative and in
accordance with the NCPH’s agreed
procedures) on or around 29 April. In
light of the need to notify the GNSO
Chair of the result (as under the GNSO
Operating Procedures Keith has the
responsibility of notifying the
Empowered Community Administration), I
would like to ask <u>if it
will be possible for the NCPH to
complete its vote on a nominee for
Board seat 14 by <b>Monday
20 April</b></u>, to allow Keith
time to inform the GNSO Council (as has
been customary) and to formally notify
the Empowered Community Administration.</span></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">I and
the whole GNSO support team are
sincerely sorry for our previous
guidance to you that had mistakenly set
21 May as the final date. Please accept
our heartfelt apologies for this rare
error as well as for the inconvenience
that we know our mistake must cause you
and your groups. </span></p>

of the situation, please be assured that

any questions or concerns with either
the timing or mechanism for the upcoming
