Hello Avri,

My sincerest gratitude for your relentless and tireless efforts to help us
all organize. My name is not on the list provided via the link you sent.
Please add me. I have noticed that quite a few other members' names are not
on the list either, so I reiterate Avri's encouragement to go through it and
contact her regarding omissions.

Thanks again Avri.

Amr

Hi,

As the new Convergence web site has come on line, I have started, slowly
slowly, creating a NCSG wiki.

One of the duties of the chair, both in the bottom-up charter we approved
and in the charter currently under review, is to maintain a public members
list.  This is a Stakeholder Group/Constituency  requirement for the entire
GNSO that comes out of  the 'improvements' process.

The list is at:

https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Members

This my view of the current member list and the representative for each of
the organizational members.  This list is composed of the NCUC membership as
well as those who have joined NCSG directly.  It should correspond to the
list of people who participated in the last vote plus anyone who has joined
since then.  I want to make sure it does reflect what it should reflect.

It does not include members of the Candidate Constituencies who have not
applied for  and been approved for membership separately.  The members of
Candidate Constituencies who meet NCSG membership requirements will be
folded into the NCSG membership list automatically once the Candidate
Constituency is approved for full status.  In the meantime, any individual
or organization, whether in a Candidate Constituency or not, who meets NCSG
membership requirements as defined in the charter, is welcome to apply for
membership in the NCSG.  The membership committee reviews all
applications.At the moment the process of application consists of sending
the <[log in to unmask]> a note explaining how you meet the criteria set out  in
the NCSG charter.   Contact me for further information - we need to
introduce an online membership form, but that is awaiting for either a
volunteer to create it or for me to have more time.  

Note: Any NCSG active Member who has been an active member for at least
thirty (30) days before the date of the election is eligible to nominate
candidates, and vote in NCSG elections,.


PLEASE VERIFY YOUR MEMBERSHIP ENTRY.
IF YOU FIND A PROBLEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
IF I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR EMAIL,
PLEASE LET ME KNOW AGAIN


PLEASE CHECK BY 14 JUNE (THAT IS 10 DAYS)

Once I am satisfied in have the correct membership list, I will begin
working on a voter's list for the upcoming votes.  We have THREE major votes
coming up:

- To re-approve our charter once the Board has finished its processes
- To elect our first formal NCSG Chair
- To elect 4 council members, 3 for a 2 years term and 1 for a one year
term.

It may be reasonable to combines the second two into a single voting event,
but that depends on timing.  More on all of this later.

Once I have buit the voters email list, built with the best information I
have (including from the last vote) I will send a email to each of the
voters asking for confirmation.  I will send the confirmation email out 2
times separated by at least 5 days.

If I do not get a confirmation on these email attempts, or if the email
bounces, I will try whatever means to contact the listed voter (phone, faq,
carrier pigeon ...).

According to our proposed charter any voter I do not reach, will be moved to
an inactive members list, will NOT be counted for purposes of voting quorum
and will NOT receive a ballot in the voting.  Inactive members can be
reinstated anytime, by contacting me (or a member of a small elections
assistance team I am setting up) with a working set of verifiable contact
points.

Last thing: as mentioned above I am setting up a small voting assistance
team.  I have already tapped a few lucky victims and plan to tap a few more.
If any of you wants to get into this sort of hands-on thankless effort of
chasing people for the addresses or finding out what has happened when
someone has not received their ballot, let me know.  It won't be fun, it is
a pain in the neck (and perhaps elsewhere).  The work gets intensive during
voting periods when part of the task includes getting out the vote - and
asking people to search through their filters for the ballot they can't
find.

Anyway, back to today's request: please check to see that your name is list
properly in the membership list.  You don't need to let me know it is
correct, but please let me know about any errors or omissions.

thanks
a.
