Hi,

with GNSO council chair election coming, we have to finalize this.
can I respond to CSG that:
*we would agree with their proposal while we would like to know why they
don't support vote against in first round.*
*we will discuss the procedure of election starting next year with
the alternating between NCSG and CSG as approach*

*Adding as conditions: Interviewing candidates should become a standard
practice.If the NCPH will be suggesting both a council vice-chair
along  with a potential chair, they should be considered together.*
we should start a new thread about GNSO council chair process and if how we
shall proceed: getting someone from NCPH or we will keep the statu quo?

Best,

Rafik
