Dear Remmy, all,
I accept
Remmy's nomination for election as Africa Representative to
NCUC-EC.
Its a delightful honour that an African voice in ICANN
offered to nominate me!!
It's a tough job fighting for the
rights of non-commercial interests anywhere and everywhere.
But as
stated when I joined, I found truly humbling heroes at NCUC my home
at ICANN.
We have a rocky path ahead. The more things change,
the more they remain the same.
Money, power and control and their
manifestations continue being great threats to social justice.
I
seek your precious vote NCSG membership vote promising if re-elected
to redouble my efforts.
I shall not falter, not waiver, flinch, be
intimidated, nor be diverted from non-commercial goals.
In my
third and final term will focus on consolidating NCUC success at
elevating indigenous African voices at ICANN.
Please vote for
me.
Thank You,
Alex
Dear KK and all,
I am nominating Mr. Alex Gakuru for the Africa representative position for the third and final term.
I have consulted with him and he approves of my intention and promises to that if elected would pursue to
serve Non Commercial Interests even more vigorously,
Keep up the good work.

Dear all,
Yes! It has been a year and elections are upon us. We need to elect an NCUC Chair and an NCUC Executive Committee.
So, the positions open up for elections are:
1. NCUC Chair
2. NCUC EC – Europe
3. NCUC EC - Africa
4. NCUC EC – Asia and the Pacific
5. NCUC EC – North America
6. NCUC EC – Latin America
I would like to have the elected officers take office before the new year, so I suggest the following schedule:
November 14-26: NOMINATIONS
November 27-30: I liaise with ICANN staff and send them the names of the nominees and all the information so they can proceed to the creation of the ballots. ICANN sends out the ballots.
December 1 – 14: Voting takes place
I have contacted ICANN and I am waiting to hear from them regarding whether they can help us. Unless I hear otherwise from ICANN, in which case we will need to find someone else to hold the elections, I suggest we stick to this timeframe.
Thank you and best of luck to all the candidates.
KK
