Dear Colleagues, 

I sincerely thank Alain Berranger for his confidence in nominating me for the subject role and also recognise Rudi Vansnick's self nomination both sent to the list on 24 October 2012. 

Having been confirmed by NPOC as one of its representatives on the NCSG Executive (subject to the approval of ISOC-TT by the NCSG which will hopefully occur without delay), in recognition of the workload of the NCSG Executive in executing their role, and also having worked personally with Rudi at ISOC and ICANN; it is with great thought that I cede my nomination in favour of Rudi. 

Further, I am well aware of Rudi's very professional and cordial relations with At Large and ALAC, his sound understanding of their policy issues and his own role in building those structures in ICANN. Therefore I perceive no difficulty in At Large or ALAC accepting his holding this position.

It is my hope that Rudi will be able to garner support from both NCUC and NPOC so that this important role is filled by consensus. 

Finally, since this position has been unfortunately left vacant for some time and the liaison role is crucial in our activities, I would like the NCSG to consider that the holder of this position be given NCSG travel support in attending our meeting in LA in January notwithstanding who fills this role.

Thank you for your kind attention and consideration of the above matters. 

Best regards

Cintra Sooknanan

The NCSG appointment should be made asap while also giving ample time for members to volunteer for the position.

Therefore, assuming we receive several NCSG volunteers for the position:

 - Let's accept volunteers for the next 7 days.  

 - And then the NCSG-EC will select the NCSG liaison from those volunteers within another 10 days time.  

So we are looking at a decision in about 17 days from now.

Thanks,
Robin

Note: I think that the NCSG-EC should appoint a reciprocal Liaison to ALAC real soon now.

Indeed.  NCSG does need to appoint a new liaison to the ALAC at this point.  This would be someone who has roots in both NCSG and ALAC and can serve as a bridge between the two groups.  The liaison will help to keep open communications between the two groups and undertake organization of joint meetings, statements and other matters where we can work together on common goals.

Bill Drake previously served in this capacity for NCSG but will be focusing on other duties in the coming year so we need a new volunteer for the next year.

Are there any NCSG members who would like to volunteer for this key position of NCSG liaison to ALAC?

Thank you,
Robin
