[npoc-voice] Upcoming NPOC elections

["Hughes, Debra Y." <Debra.Hughes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear NPOC members,

On Monday, you should receive a ballot for The Not-for-Profit Operational 
Concerns Constituency (NPOC)'s elections for officers.  The Election will begin 
on March 5, 2012 and conclude on March 19, 2012 at 11:59:59 ET.

The slate is below:

NPOC Chair
*       Alain Berranger
*       Amber Sterling

NPOC Vice Chair
*       Lori Schulman

Secretariat
*       Amber Sterling

Membership Committee Chair
*       Klaus Stoll

Policy Committee Chair
*       Judy Branzelle

Communications Committee Chair (No nominees received - Please write-in the name 
of a candidate)
*       ___________ Please insert name

Please be certain to check your email on Monday (including your junk mail 
folder) for the ballot from ICANN.

On a personal note, since Amber indicated she needs a break from the role of 
NPOC Chair and she stated would strongly prefer to be elected as Secretariat 
(even though she graciously accepted the nomination for Chair), I am compelled 
to take this opportunity to publicly share my appreciation for Amber Sterling's 
hard work and the many long hours she spent as Chair helping to establish NPOC! 
 As such, I am pleased to support the election of Alain Berranger as Chair of 
NPOC and encourage NPOC members to do the same. The slate above reflects a good 
mix of representation from various types of nonprofits/NGOs with a mix of 
international representation.

Thanks again to Amber for her previous leadership and her assistance during 
NPOC's transition of leadership.

I encourage all NPOC members to vote by March 19th!  The coming year will be 
very exciting!

Best,
Debbie
