The number of nominations and acceptances are indeed laudable.It is unquestionable that in this period of transition for the NCSG, GNSO and ICANN as a whole; we require effective and tactful representatives who understand the overall ICANN and IG landscape. In this regard I find the candidates best suited to provide relevant, precise, and well engaged representation to be Sam and Edward for the GNSO Council.I also thank and support Rafik in his role as NCSG Chair.Kind regardsCintra SooknananOn Mon, Aug 11, 2014 at 9:27 AM, Glenn McKnight <[log in to unmask]> wrote:I too support the nomination of Dr. Sam Lanfranco as a GNSO councilor

Hi,
I nominate Rafik Dammak for a second term as NCSG chair.
He has started a lot of projects to help us become more organized in our
work, and I would like to see him take those projects further. I think
we have already become a bit more operationally functional during his
first year, and I think can become more so during a second year.
