[Ncsg-discuss] [Info] GNSO Chair election

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi all,

As you might know, GNSO Council elect every year at AGM e.g. ICANN87 in
Bali, the GNSO chair. Each house, CPH and NCPH, can nominate one candidate.
For this year, we got 2 candidates Vivek Goyal from CSG and  Samantha
Demetriou from RySG.  As NCSG, we accepted to support nomination from NCPH
of Vivek as we didn't have candidate from our side and we aim to have
competitive election. We still have to decide for whom to support for the
election itself.

The voting will happen in Bali meeting, in first public session of the
newly seated GNSO council as its first action.

We are planning interviews with the candidates to interact with then and
more importantly understand how they see the role of GNSO Chair, how they
will manage the Council activities, work with GNSO leadership team, work
with GNSO Policy staff and cooperate with other groups or consult SG/C. As
NCSG we should decide for whom to support and give guidance to our
councillors for whom to vote

I insist to clarify that they will be GNSO chair and not just GNSO Council
chair. The chair interact with other SO/AC chairs, board and ICANN staff,
asked to represent and speak for GNSO as SO and even involved in matters
like selection etc.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

Best,

Rafik
