<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks.</DIV>

<DIV>Dear SCI members,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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: <A
href="https://community.icann.org/x/L4Hg">https://community.icann.org/x/L4Hg</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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 <B>**Friday, 05
December.**</B></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you very much for your consideration.</DIV></DIV></SPAN>
