<p style="margin-bottom:0in">On behalf of the Executive Committee
(EC), I would like wish you a Happy New Year, one of prosperity and
happiness. Your Executive Members are: Caleb Olumuyiwa, David Cake,
Juan Manuel Rojas, Oreoluwa Somolu Lesi and Raoul Plommer.<br></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The EC is very busy with its priority
of building a stable foundation for NPOC, however, we've been a
little silent with you. Please accept my apologies, and for the
remainder of my term, I will commit to communicating with you more
often and to work with you more closely to make NPOC the amazing
Constituency it aught t be<font color="#222222">. I will not be
addressing the general meetings attendances or ICANN participation,
only the development of the Constituency.</font><br></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">The Executive
Committee embraced a sustainable strategy to work on building a
strong organization in order to better serve its members. This meant
revisiting or developing the necessary administrative functionalities
that would enable the EC to responsibilities. I would like to share
these with you.</span><br></p>
<ol><li><p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font color="#222222">Charter
Review: The EC delved into updating the charter, only to discover
that many sections had dual and sometimes conflicting or even
contradictory statements. It was decided that a very comprehensive
rewrite and redefinition had to take place. The charter will be
available by ICANN64 for your input. </font>
</p>
</li></ol>
<ol start="2"><li><p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font color="#222222">Creating a
Policy Committee: NPOC EC spent a lot of time to define the
operational issues and the newly formed committee is tasked with
creating public comment and informing members about policies and
encourage their comments and expertise.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"></p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font color="#222222">Branding
NPOC: the development of marketing and promotional materials, such
as a new logo, banner, Getting Started Guide, Welcome letter.
These are stored so subsequent Committees can utilize them.</font></p>
</li></ol>
<ol start="4"><li><p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font color="#222222">Financial
responsibilities: NPOC EC had to address a number of financial
issues stemming from previous years, with little or no info, it was
finally resolved and procedures established for the future.</font></p>
