(Doing this while an election is going on is not so democratic, but we do not have a close race between competitive candidates) The EC is primarily an administrative body, so I will concentrate on that. We need to have some discussion about our charter review and changes and then vote on it. The annual report lies ahead, which means we (EC) have to push all those that received grants from NCUC to write a few paragraphs about what they achieved, ask the "policy group" (mostly identical to the grantees) to describe our more general strategy and compile that. I want a budget overview and some discussion about that, especially about fees that need to be invoiced (and how). Our Outreach- Brochure is not coming along. To make things easier, I would like to see a few server additions: An easy access mailing list, a few political topics on the web page, and IRC client, and if all that's done, a groupware (don't know if that's helpful, but I'd like to try). Ton's of work, which brings up another issue: We need to find a secretary-treasurer. (After writing about all that's left to do, I guess the number of potential secretaries dropped to zero). Most of these topics have been raised before, and I must confess that I have not done enough work on them, but at least we need to keep the topics in mind. Not only that Icann slowed down somewhat (or so I think), but the activity of NCUC has also decreased. We need to raise the mood. About me: I'm an astrophysicist and currently mainly busy with raising my two children. I'm 33 and I live in Berlin, Germany. I know a few things about networks, forced myself to learn some of the legal and political issues as well and have been active for / on Icann since early 2000 and the "Membership implementation task force". I do have some Icann-specific political positions, too, but won't bother you with that today. > But the ballot page doesn't indicate whether it is possible to update > votes after casting them, as has been possible in the past.
