[NCSG-PC] PC Chair election / Vice-chairs appointments

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi all,

following-up (with delay) on one the agreed action items which is the PC
chair election and vice-chairs appointment, I am proposing here a draft
process and timeline. it might sound formal compared to what we discussed
previously but I am using this a draft for building fully fledged process
in future:

1- Nomination period: from 17th to 24th April

Nomination and self-nomination are both permitted from and within PC
members (NCSG councillors, NCSG Chair, representatives from NCUC and NPOC
to PC), for one year term for PC chair position.
The nominee should accept the nomination and send a short SOI by the 24th
April.

2- Election : from 27th April to 1st May

all PC members should vote. the GNSO support staff will act as the election
officer. The options in the ballot should be the candidates who confirmed
by the deadline and NOTA

3- Result: should be available by 2nd May

the candidate who get  2/3 vote of the NCSG‑PC membership will be declared
winner.

4- Vice-chairs appointments:

After PC chair confirmation, a call for interest should be made to have up
to 2 vice-chairs. The appointment of the volunteers will be confirmed if
there is no objection within PC.


this is just draft process and should be fleshed out to documented for
future. I didn't outline all cases regarding the election for example.
After that, the next step will be to work on job description for those
positions.

Please let me know your thoughts/comments on what is proposed.

Best,

Rafik

Hi all,

as you know we had last week our PC meeting to discuss several items
regarding election, improvements etc. We got already some action item to
follow-up

1- PC chair Election: there was agreement to go with the idea of having
chair and 2 vice-chairs. The point was also to have proper open process
(that can be documented for future). so the action here is  to agree on
timeline and process (nomination, vote). it shouldn't be complicated. I
believe we can get this done in this month e.g. 1 week for nomination and 1
week for voting.
2- Having a regular PC call, hopefully monthly call and coordinating more
with our NCSG reps to council. The action would be to agree on regular
day/time. I think that can be 2 weeks after NCSG Policy.
3- Regarding documentation and development of workflow, I believe that can
be done with reworking again on PC operating procedure and documenting
previous activities. I am sharing here the PC operating procedures draft
being worked on before
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G_M4wBGVEyXm30m79olplfF0RNkJnDwaVBBeldDfO8U/edit
.
For anything missing, we can start first to identify that and have
volunteers to draft it. For Chair job description, I can use what I
presented and develop a draft.
4- Sharing here the slides I presented in last call:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SnpMYmb6lTw1FqO6tvSqCdpgL-QMg1DJXIJGrx8vB6A/edit#slide=id.p
5- for NCSG Policy call improvements, we will have the NCSG Policy call in
coming days and I will try to make some adjustments to extent of possible.
It might be shorter than usual as we will have NCSG meeting next week. From
April NCSG Policy call, we can start identifying other topics we would like
to cover other than council meeting and usual policy updates.

One activity we will need to do soon and follow-up is to work about
prioritization. GNSO Council will discuss the GNSO future work soon and we
need to be ready and align our work around that. That also aligns with the
discussion we had about prioritizing our work and it starts with
identifying what is in the pipeline.

let me know if I missed anything.

Best.

Rafik
