 Hi everyone,

My apologies for this delayed response. I just returned from travels in
parts of the world where, as Norbert often reminds us, internet access is a
luxury not readily available to the lone individual. I'm proud to be part
of a group of individuals who want that to change: the NCSG.

Thanks to Rafik for doing such a great job running this election. It's not
an easy job and, frankly, is a rather thankless one. Rafik was always there
when I had a question about the process, and I had many, with prompt
responses that proved to be accurate. I was pleasantly surprised that one
man could do such a good job. Thanks again Rafik.

To those who voted for me: thank you. It's both humbling and shocking to
have your name placed on a ballot and see people actually vote for you. I'm
not sure I'll ever get used to that. I'll do my best to honor your
confidence in me by doing the best job I possibly can. I'll never be as
smart as Wendy (face it, none of us are :) ), as talented as Joy or as
charming and effective as Maria, just to name a few of those who have
preceded me in this position, but I can promise you that no one will
outwork me. That's one variable I can control.

I am so excited to be able to work with my fellow "newbies": Stephanie and
Marilia. Congratulations to both of you! Thanks to Sam for waging such a
positive and thoughtful campaign: I'll need your help and input going
forward; we all do.

To our incumbent Counselors - David, Avri and Amr - it's an honour to be
joining you on Council. I'm certainly going to need your guidance as I try
to sort out how things on Council actually work. My informational needs are
nothing new for Avri: I've been bugging her with questions since we met in
the basement of a cafeteria in a converted monastery in Germany several
years ago. She's always been willing to provide answers, no matter how dumb
my questions were, to her great credit.

We have a lot of work to do, both within our PC and within the Council. We
need more people to be involved, that needs to be a priority. Nuno is
absolutely correct: we need to close the distance between the GNSO and the
community. Amr has suggested that folks can join a WG to get more involved.
He's right. Another way would be for folks to help out in writing public
comments. That's something I've been doing and I'm happy to help out anyone
who wants to give it a try. Hopefully we'll heed Stephanie's call and get
things a bit more organized on the PC so we can help people engage in both
activities.

Thanks again everyone. Time to get to work.

Ed

 Dear  NCSG Members:

 The  NCSG annual election  results are back and attached to this email.

 Congrats to the NCSG's 4 elected GNSO Councilors: Stephanie Perrin (2
years term), David Cake (2 years term), Edward Morris (2 years term) and
Marilia Maciel (1 year term). I am also re-elected for 1 year-term as NCSG
chair.

 A deep thanks to the other candidates, the nominators, and everyone who
checked-in, voted in the election.  And also we couldn't have held the
election  without the tireless assistance of Glen de Saint Gery from ICANN
staff. Special thanks to our departing councillors for their work and
representing NCSG within the GNSO council: Klaus Stoll, Maria Farell and
Magaly Pazello .

 The term for these positions begins at the conclusion of the ICANN meeting
in Los Angeles (17 October).

 Voters can check their individual ballot ID against the list of votes cast
(attached) to verify that their vote was counted correctly.

 Finally, all election details are summarized in this page
https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Elections-2014

 Best Regards,

 Rafik Dammak

 NCSG chair
