Oggetto: Re: [NCSG-PC] GNSO Chair election

Hi,

While I expressed interest to put my name for chair election, I am fine with running for vice-chair instead considering the current context.  taking the opportunity to run as vice-chair seems more reasonable for the time being. We had a call with Heather last week and also ongoing discussion between councilors about the nomination. I understand there may some concerns but we can play our role to keep GNSO leadership on track. it also seems that both groups didn't start the process in due time, nor we had a process to start with.

I advise that we go with supporting Heather nomination from NCPH and continue the discussion with CSG about vice-chair position and election processes (not waiting for intersessional to do the later).

We have few hours left, so we should share our decision with CSG asap and make the nomination before midnight at UTC time.

Best,

Rafik

Hi,

for the record, as I was nominated by Ayden a few weeks ago in PC list  I am also interested to be nominated by NCPH to run for GNSO chair election.
I am looking forward NCSG to support my candidature and suggest it to CSG during the house nomination process.

Best,

Rafik

Dear PC,

Deadline for GNSO Chair candidate nominations is October 1, that
is the end of this week.

Background:

The rules say that each house will be allowed to nominate
one candidate. Meaning we'd have to agree with CSG.
And we'd have to find a candidate the other house will
also accept.

Time is short. We really should open talks with CSG now.

And if we want one of ours to run for Chair, we'd also
need to talk with CPH at the same time.

Chair needs 60% supermajority in the council to be elected.
My math says that works out to 16 councillors, when CPH
and NCPH both have 13 (6 per constituency plus two NCAs).

Eligible for nomination are all new councillors, including
all NCAs (even non-voting NCA).

For more details cf. 2.2 in GNSO Operating Procedures.

And as you may recall, if CSG gets the Chair we'll get Vice Chair, as
per the procedure we agreed on.

I haven't heard anything from CSG after Jo'burg, but there I got
the impression they'd be likely to offer Heather Forrest.
Note that if she's elected she could only serve one year,
as she's term-limited as councillor.
