Re: [npoc-voice] [Important] NCSG 2014 Annual Election Information - Timetable - Positions to Elect - Process

[Cintra Sooknanan <cintra.sooknanan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since there are multiple GNSO Council Positions up for election I would
support us nominating both Sam and Klaus for elections, I ask that Klaus
reconsider his position. We do not have to choose just one NPOC member to
run, I feel that Klaus has had a very short tenure at the Council and his
level of contribution and comfort will increase in this second term.

As for Sam's nomination, I agree that this year has been tough but at the
same time there are opportunities that should be seized. My only concern is
that we will lose our Policy Committee Chair if Sam is elected and should
therefore appoint a Policy Committee Vice Chair in order to ensure our
policy committee is sufficiently beefed up and to facilitate a smooth
transition if necessary.

Looking forward to further discussion and consideration of these points.

Regards

Cintra Sooknanan
