[gnso-improvem-impl-sc] Election/Selection of Chair and Vice Chair for 2014

[Mary Wong]

Dear SCI members,

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.

As Ron is not term-limited, he may under the terms of the Charter choose to serve a second one-year term as Chair. Ron has graciously indicated that he will be happy to continue as the Chair for this coming year – as such, and again per the Charter, no election for Chair will be held unless there is one (or more) other candidate(s) for Chair. If there is at least one other nominee/volunteer for Chair, the Charter prescribes how an election will then be run: https://community.icann.org/x/L4Hg

Avri will not be standing for Vice-Chair, having already served more than one term as such. The SCI therefore needs at least one volunteer/nominee for Vice Chair for 2014.

In view of the upcoming SCI meeting in seven days' time, this note is intended to inform SCI members of both the process as well as to allow primary SCI members to volunteer or be nominated for either the Chair or Vice Chair position.Please send all candidate nominations (including self-nominations) to this list before the next meeting on December 17th.

Thanks and cheers
Mary
