[NCSG-EC] Election timing for 2019

[Stephanie Perrin]

Dear EC members:  the constituency and NCSG Chairs have been discussing the upcoming elections for all three groups.  Because ICANN is backing up travel deadlines in order to cut costs, we now have to have our  members names in four months in advance.  Deadline for the fall meeting is July 15, which I find ridiculous but I doubt we can do much about it.  This will impact the timing of elections, in order to ease the Constituencies and Stakeholders' group chair transition, we would like to have the new chairs seated at the AGM.  We think it would be sensible and labor saving to have all three elections run at the same time.  Here is the proposed schedule:


May 13 - June 07: check in period
23 May - 06 June: Nomination period
07 June:  deadline for nomination acceptance and candidate statement. Check in ends.
09 June: Voter roll finalized
08/09 June: meet the candidates call
10 June - 23 June: Voting
24 June: Results


Tell me what you think.  We had thought about pushing it back a few weeks, but then it wound up with the meet the candidates call coinciding with Rightscon, which we did not want to do.

Cheers Stephanie
