[NCSG-PC] Fwd: Request for NSCG endorsement -- GNSO Liaison to the GAC

Sat Sep 9 13:58:28 EEST 2017

Hi Rafik,

As we did not include a hard deadline in the email on Thursday, I suppose Pascal did submit his request for endorsement on time [at least by UTC timezone]. For that reason I support us endorsing his application.

However, if it would help the SSC in their deliberations, I would propose that the preferred order of candidates from the NCSG be as follows:

- Paul Rosenzweig
- Julf Helsingius
- Pascal Bekono

Best wishes, Ayden
