I’m in support of an extension. Ongoing background talks may help.


Best regards

Vice Chair for 2015

Hi,

If there are no nominations made before today’s deadline, I was wondering if an 
extension to the nominating period could be set, even if just for a few days. I 
am personally working on making one, but would like some time to confer with 
the NCUC membership first.

Thanks.

  Dear SCI members,

  This is a reminder that per the SCI Charter, each December the SCI has to 
nominate, select and (if necessary) elect a Chair and Vice Chair for the 
following year. Only primary members of the SCI (i.e. no alternates) are 
eligible to stand for either position.  Per the Charter, the Chair and Vice 
Chair shall serve for a 1-year term with the option to continue for a second 
1-year term.   

  Ron Andruff has served two 1-year terms and thus is term-limited and cannot 
continue in the position in 2015. The SCI therefore needs at least one 
volunteer/nominee for Chair for 2015.  If there is more than one 
nominee/volunteer for Chair, the Charter prescribes how an election will then 
be run: https://community.icann.org/x/L4Hg

  Cintra Sooknanan will have served served 1 term as Vice Chair as of the end 
of 2014 and is eligible to continue for a second 1-year term.   For the 
avoidance of doubt, time served as Vice Chair shall not prohibit the Vice Chair 
from serving as Chair.  If there is more than one nominee/volunteer for Vice 
Chair an election will be run as per the Charter.

  Interested SCI members should volunteer or submit nominations for either the 
Chair or Vice Chair position.  Please send all candidate nominations (including 
self-nominations) to this list not later than **Friday, 05 December.**

  Thank you very much for your consideration.

  Best regards,
  Julie
