*Notice of NPOC nomination for election process.*

Hello NPOC members,

The purpose of the NPOC is to represent, specifically, the operational
concerns related to service delivery of not-for-profit and non-governmental
organizations who are domain registrants in the DNS. NPOC focuses on the
impact of DNS policies and their effects on the operational readiness and
implementation of non-commercial missions and objectives. NPOC members rely
on the Internet and DNS policies to provide valuable services to their
communities.

It is that time again for the annual NPOC Executive Committee nominations
and election process. The NPOC Charter requires a minimum of sixty (60)
days to call an annual election. The formal nomination timeline & process
