[NCSG-PC] GNSO Council Vice Chair (NCPH) Election Process; GNSO Board Seat (NCPH) Election Process

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi Tapani,

I shared previously the timeline for the chair election and asking for
comments from PC. our decision on that (nomination first and then voting
)will influence our selection of vice-chair.
I am happy to reach CSG side to kick-off the discussion.

Best,

Rafik
