Please note that only members listed on the voters list will be sent a ballot to vote https://members.ncsg.is/public-voters-list_ncsg

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1.  We have 4 GNSO Council seats up for election.  The top 3 vote-getters will receive a full two-year term.  The 4th place vote-getter will only be for a one-year term because it is filling a seat vacated mid-term.  This is subject to point 2 below.

2.  Regarding the gender diversity rule for the GNSO Council, the NCSG Charter provides that “in no circumstance should there be fewer than two members of any gender.”  As Tatiana is presently our only continuing female member, candidate Stephanie will automatically be elected to the GNSO Council regardless of how many votes she receives because we are required to have at least two female Council members under our charter.  So the gender rule, trumps the number of votes earned in terms of winning a seat.  This means that Stephanie + the top 3 vote-getters from the other candidates will be elected to Council.

3.  Our regional diversity rules should not be a factor in this election, however, because no more than two members would be declared resident of the same geographic region.

4. You can change your vote until the deadline on 17 June, 23:59 UTC. Only the last selection will be counted.
3. There are four (4) vacant council positions. Please select no more than 4 candidates; you may abstain from selecting a candidate if you wish, but you may only vote for 4 individuals.
4. You will receive several reminders during the election with the same link to your ballot. The weight of your vote is indicated in the ballot (1 for individual, 2 for small organization and 4 for large organization).




Many thanks,
