2020 Election Timeline for NCSG positions

[Stephanie E Perrin]

Hi everyone!

It is my duty as NCSG Chair, to communicate with you concerning the 
upcoming elections for GNSO Council and NCSG Chair.  Here are the 
revised timelines, for our activities as a stakeholder group, related to 
those elections.  For further details about how our elections are 
conducted, please see the NCSG Charter, available here:

https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/filefield_25801/ncsg-charter-05may11-en.pdf 
Section 4.

*NCSG Election Timeline*

7 May - Check in begins

14 May - 28 May: Nomination period

28 May: Deadline for nomination acceptance and candidate statement.

29 May or 01 June: Meet the candidates call / Check in ends.

02 June: Voter roll finalized

03 June - 17 June: Voting

18 June: Results announced


We need to elect four councilors, and the NCSG Chair.  I have listed all 
of our current councilors, for your convenience, so you can see the 
regional distribution.  As you know, we strive for gender balance and 
regional distribution, with no more than two candidates from a region as 
far as possible.

  * Rafik Dammak (SOI
    <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Rafik+Dammak+SOI>) -
    AAPAC (AGM 2020) term limited
  * Elsa Saade (SOI <https://community.icann.org/x/hyyOAw>) – NA – (AGM
    2020) eligible for re-election
  * Tatiana Tropina (SOI <https://community.icann.org/x/xAJ1Aw>) – EU
    (AGM 2021) (no election for this seat)
  * Juan Manuel Rojas (SOI
    <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Juan+Manuel+Rojas+SOI>)
    – LAC (AGM 2020) eligible for re-election
  * Farell Folly (SOI
    <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Farell+FOLLY+SOI>) – AF
    (AGM 2021) (no election for this seat)
  * James Gannon (SOI
    <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/James+Gannon+SOI>) – EU
    (AGM 2021) Eligible for re-election.  This 2021 date listed here is
    an error, as an appointee of the NCSG, James can only sit until the
    General Annual Meeting, we have to hold an election for this seat
    just as we do for Juan's seat.  Had Farzi stayed, the seat would not
    be up for election.
  * NCSG Chair Stephanie Perrin (term limited)

As you can see, we have roughly three weeks to get ready for the 
nomination period, and find suitable candidates interested in filling 
these volunteer positions.  I would like to encourage you all to 
consider applying and am happy to answer any questions from you 
concerning the roles and responsibilities.

Kind regards,

Stephanie Perrin
