Hi Tapani

Just on process where does the NOTA candidate come from with regards to our charter, as it seems that the inclusion of a NOTA candidate is not referenced anywhere.
Also we have a serious election process flaw in that with the manner in which NOTA is given is makes it impossible for us not to elect a full slate of candidates if the number of candidates matches the number of positions, which makes this essentially an acclimation.
Not sure if others have raised this in the past but having served in the past while I was in university as an independent election observer it seems like a pretty serious issue to me.

Subject: *Important* NCSG 2016 Annual Elections - voting has started

Dear all,

Voting has started on NCSG annual elections.

If you checked in on time, you should have received or receive soon your individual ballot message from [log in to unmask] with subject

"Ballot ID and URL for Election: 'NCSG Chair/GNSO Councillors election 2016'"

If you don't see it, look at your spam folders first.

The message contains an URL directing you to your individual ballot (do not share it with anyone else).

Following it you'll get to the page where you can indicate who you want to vote for: first Chair, then Councillors.

Tick the ones you like and click "Submit ballot".

If you change your mind you can do so simply by voting again:
only the last one will be counted.

Voting period ends on September 4 - make sure you vote before that.

If you have any questions about the process, please do not hesitate to ask.
