Dear Rudi, I am travelling at the moment but will get back to answer your concerns regarding my view of issues for NCUC in Europe.

Nevertheless, I think that if one feels it can be of help for any position, one has the obligation to do self-nomination. I did that the last election. I lost, but I tried, and eventually, my points of view helped to enrichen the debate.

I'll get back to your questions within a day or two, thank you for asking, and I hope we all can work together for a strong and meaningful participation.

Best,

Nuno Garcia
(candidate for Europe for the NCUC EC)

Dear Konstantinos,

Could you please also try to avoid sending requests to vote to members that already have voted, very early in the process ?
I'm not going to open a debate, but transparency is quite important in such a process. 

To come back to an earlier discussion, (sorry i've been traveling too much the last couple of months not enabling me to follow up), the number of candidates. I was interested in standing up as a candidate for Europe but as very soon after the nomination mail another candidate was proposed for Europe, I decided to not self-nominate myself and kept quiet. Perhaps not a good decision. However, I would like to hear a bit more about some proposals with regards to the European situation especially in relation to the heavy debates and upcoming changes at European level (see recent proposal from the European commission).

I hope in the near future having much more time available to follow-up on those topics as they are affecting every internet user and we will soon also have to compete with difficulties related to the new GTLDs.

I wish every candidate success and hope to see some more structured activities in NCSG and NCUC especially.

Kind regards,

Rudi Vansnick

Dear all,
 
I have been informed by the secretariat that the voting record so far is not what it should be – only a very small fraction of the membership has actually voted. May I please ask you to check your inboxes, spam folders, filters, etc. and find the email from ICANN so you can vote? It is very important that you cast your vote.
 
I know people are very busy but this should not take more than a minute really.
 
So please vote, vote, vote….voting closes December 15, 2011 at 23:59 UTC.
 
Many thanks
 
KK
