[PC-NCSG] 2015 GNSO Council Chair Elections

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi,

Our NCSG representatives to the GNSO Council will need to participate in a new round of chair elections very soon. This is the schedule for the next round(s):

5 November - Deadline for nominations ('Each house will be allowed to nominate one candidate for GNSO Council Chair?)
12 November - Deadline for candidate statements: 
19 November Council meeting (possibly extend meeting by 1 hour?) - Interview with candidates 
20 November - Ballots send out by GNSO Secretariat  ? deadline for votes Monday 23 November
24 November - Results announced by GNSO Secretariat 

If second round is needed, 
24 November, second round ballots are sent out (deadline for votes Thursday 26 November)
27 November, results of second round announced by GNSO Secretariat

We?ve hopefully got the NCPH Leadership list set and ready to hold discussions on this topic. We should use that list more often, when coordinating with the CSG constituencies.

Anyway?, so far, the only ?unconfirmed? updates to this topic that I have heard are that:

1. James Bladel will continue to run as the CPH candidate
2. Heather Forrest is willing to serve as a Council Vice-Chair for the next year

I say that these are ?unconfirmed?, because these were communicated to me, and possibly others, privately (not on a publicly archived list), but no official nominations have been submitted yet.

I will try to get a more formal discussion that we are all a part of going.

Thanks.

Amr
