Hi all,

For my part, I don’t see any issue with allowing for this extension if it is 
needed, but we will need to act quickly thereafter so that we don’t have our 
staff support working into the holiday period because we are missing our first 
date which had been well-published.

Thanks,

RA

Dear Wolf-Ulrich and Amr,

As there are no procedures that prescribe the time period required for the 
nominations for the election/selection of Chair and Vice Chair (just that 
ideally they should be selected by the beginning of 2015), there doesn't appear 
to be any reason that we cannot extend the time period in this case.  Would a 
one-week extension — that is, until Friday, 12 December — provide enough time?

With best regards,
Julie

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

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.

Amr

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

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
