Re: [npoc-voice] NPOC Proposal for IOC-RC protection & Reminder on NPOC call March 13

[Alain Berranger <alain.berranger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Judy,

I don't know but can ask experts here and get back to you.

While I have you on the npoc-voice list, and any others entitled to vote:
Please vote soonest if you have not - I understand that we have not yet
reached the 10% participation - NPOC will have legitimacy issues if we
don't reach that minimum threshold. It may mean losing financial support
from ICANN and our sponsors.

If you have not received a ballot and feel you should, cannot find it in
your spam box or has been sent to someone else in your organization, please
make a special effort to reach out to them and tell them to vote, please.

In case of any doubt, please check with the ICANN Electoral agent - Glen de
Saint-Gery at "Glen de Saint Gery" <glen@xxxxxxxxx>

Thanks and best regards,

Alain

Alain
