[PC-NCSG] Council Chair and Vice Chair Elections - Second Take

Fri Nov 6 10:38:08 EET 2015

Hahaha. Yeah?, although I?m all for the intent of the slogan, I?m not too crazy about it either. :)

Thanks to everyone for the responses provided so far. I will communicate to Greg that:

1. We agree to Heather VCing the GNSO Council.

2. We support the renomination of James as the Council Chair. Not sure that acclamation will work from a procedural perspective. The GNSO OP seem pretty straight forward on this; that a chair needs to be elected with 60% of votes from each house. I will bring it up.

3. After discussion, the NCSG agrees to the content of the short statement Greg has circulated. I will ask him to make Tapani the NCSG signatory, but would appreciate hearing from Tapani on this. Is he on a plane headed to Brazil right now?

Thanks again to everyone for engaging on this on short notice.

I am scheduled to appear in an ICANN-sponsored panel at the Council of Europe on November 19, same time as the council call, which means I would miss the first part of the call. I am trying to bail out, and waiting to hear from Adam/JJ (the organizers). What do you think? It feels weird to miss part of my first call ever... especially with the chair election.

>> Hi again,
>> 
>> Thanks for the thoughts that have been expressed so far. You should all be subscribed to the NCPH Leadership list, so you should have seen Greg?s response to my email. If you?re not getting emails from the NCPH list, please let me know.
>> 
>> Anyway?, it looks like the CSG thoughts on Heather VCing the council are consistent with what has been discussed on this list. If there are no objections, I will communicate this to the CSG.
>> 
>> Anyone else should feel free to speak up on the NCPH list as well. It?s obviously desirable that we have a coordinated consensus position on this issue, but the NCPH list is to facilitate discussion among the two non-contracted SGs, so please, use it.
>> 
>> The other point Greg made was electing James by acclamation. We haven?t really discussed whether or not our councillors would like to support James in a new round of council chair elections. Personally, I am glad he is still willing to run, and plan on supporting him. It?d be helpful to know whether or not, we can get him elected by acclamation, or if we would need to vote. We probably will anyway. I?m not sure there is a procedure that allows for no vote to take place, but I guess we?ll see.
>> 
>> It has also been recently pointed out to me that another call with James may be helpful for those who still have questions for him. Would folks here like to have another interview set up with him, or with Heather for that matter?
>> 
>> Let me know.
>> 
>> Thanks.
