[NCSG-EC] [NCSG-PC] Not attending ICANN66

Fri Nov 1 18:22:28 EET 2019

Right. I just do not want to tromp roughshod over Elsa’s preferences.  I made the call without consulting, being confident that NPOC would appreciate an opportunity to be represented by an active member.
I will therefore refer this to the EC.  Let me know soonest, guys ( in cc) as I don’t want to miss getting the absence form in.

In fact the NCSG operating procedures about travel support allocation does not require this at all. I will dig out the link.  If other people who the EC see as qualified are willing to step up then thats fine too.

It is my understanding that if you give your proxy to Martin, he does not attend.  I stand to be corrected by veterans who know better.
