[PC-NCSG] NCSG Informal Meeting on the Topic of GNSO Council Chair Elections

[Milan, Stefania]

I am new to this business, and don't know what the process has been in other similar instances. Any precedents? Curiosity, I guess.
In any case, I personally see value in such meeting and I will be there, as this is how I understand voting and being voted into a position by a membership organization (although as the only candidate :-)

Hi Amr,

I will not be attending this meeting both because I have a conflict and because I can already anticipate what your concerns are. You have already expressed them to me and, I understand, others.

I respect each and every one of my Council colleagues and expect all of us will follow our own conscious and judgement in the vote and do what we feel is best for our members. I am concerned that overt electioneering of a more pressured kind does not respect the independence we grant our Councillors. If there was a desire to bind us on this vote there was ample time to do so and formal procedures in place to do so.

I would encourage others not to attend this meeting. The best source of information are the candidates themselves, not their supporters, and James and Heather are both readily available to meet.

Best,

Ed
