A few updates on the 2013 NCSG Election below.

The 2013 annual "check-in" process is now completed.  Thanks to everyone who checked-in to vote in next month's NCSG election.

After the annual check-in, NCSG had 60-61% of members checked-in as "active" and eligible to receive a ballot in the election.

The 2-week nomination period has now closed so there can be no more new nominations in the election.  Much thanks to the nominators and the nominees.  

Voting will be via email ballot 1-14 October and ICANN manages the electronic voting system.  I'll send a note to the list when ballots have been sent by ICANN to remind members to keep an eye out for the ballots in their email boxes.

All candidates are required to submit a candidate statement before tomorrow 26 September (eob) to this list for their name to go on the ballot, and once made, I'm posting the candidate stmts on the NCSG 2013 Election webpage:
