Due to this, and after thoughtful discussions, the ExCom appointed Raoul Plommer, as an interim Vice-Chair until our coming elections in June 2017.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8363"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8364"> </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8365"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8366">According to the rules Mr. Silva Valent cannot fulfil his position as member of the NCSG Policy Committee, as long he is serving as GNSO Councillor and consequently, we have a vacancy to be filled in the NCSG. We are calling for volunteers to self-nominate or nominate a candidate to serve on this Committee. Anyone interested has to be involved in policy discuss and be able to join calls, respond to comments and to participate actively in what this group does. Please refer to the NCSG Charter 2.5 to see roles and responsibilities.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8367"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8368"> </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8369"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8370">Please submit your nomination to the NPOC discuss list by Monday 27 March 2017, 23:56 UTC</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8371"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8372"> </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8373"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8374">Congratulations to Martin Silva, and a warm welcome to Raoul Plommer!</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8375"><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8376"> </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8377"><span style="color: rgb(31, 78, 121);" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8378">Many thanks, </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8377"><span style="color: rgb(31, 78, 121);"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8377"><span style="color: rgb(31, 78, 121);" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8618">NPOC ExCom</span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8192"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8192"><img class="ymail-preserve-class inline-image-guid-7115709a-7234-3837-dc83-6495168e458f rte-inline-saved-image" src="cid:26a8e5d9-55d8-d7d0-90f7-041d852506f7@yahoo.com" data-id="inline-image-guid-7115709a-7234-3837-dc83-6495168e458f" alt="Integrar imagen" style="width: 50%; max-width: 400px; max-height: 115px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8834"><br><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8192"><br></div><div class="signature" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8601"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8600"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1467397914851_28423" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></div></div><div style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490201239843_8745"><br><br><br><br></div> </div></div></body></html>
