Dear
NCUC members,
I
am writing to You as a NCUC Representative to the NCSG Executive Committee, to provide report back and summary of the decisions and discussion that have taken place within the NCSG EC meetings.
By
the way of background, the NCSG Executive Committee is responsible for working with the NCSG Chair to make sure the NCSG functions according to its mission and principles. The NCSG-EC is responsible for supervising and monitoring the NCSG Chair’s performance
of executive functions, and the NCSG-EC may call for a new chair election. The NCSG‑EC is also responsible for establishing and overseeing membership criteria, rules, as well as reviewing and approving applications to form new Constituencies in accordance
with the Section 2.3 of the NCSG Charter and any applicable Constituency Recognition Process approved by the ICANN Board of Directors. The NCSG-EC’s formation, functions, composition and duties within the NCSG are set out in Section 2.4 of the NCSG Charter.
The
NCSG EC had a phone meeting yesterday, and I am writing to update You all on what has been discussed and decided.
The
following EC members participated in the call:
1.
Joan
Kerr, NPOC Rep
2.
Robin
Gross, NCUC Rep
3.
Monika
Zalnieriute, NCUC Rep
4.
Tapani
Tarvainen, NCSG Chair
As
EC operates on a basis of full consensus, the
decisions
made on the 24th February were pending Poncelet Ileleji (NPOC Rep) approval/possible objection, as
he was not participating in the call and could not express his opinion. Poncelet now has expressed his support for these decisions by e-mail, so the consensus has been reached.
During
this call, the EC:
1.
Discussed
and approved a number of new membership applications;
2.
Discussed
an upcoming Constituency Review, that NCSG Executive Committee is conducting as required
by
NCSG Charter 2.3.3, to determine if any recommendation should be made
to
the Board regarding a change in status of any Constituency.
3.
Decided
to terminate Consumers' Constituency's
candidate
constituency status.
4.
Following
Amr Elsadr's resignation from the council, we
decided
to appoint Avri Doria as his temporary alternate until the end
of
Copenhagen meeting and Martin Silva Valent as temporary replacement
after
that for the remainder of the term.
Thank
you all,
Best
wishes,
Kind regards,
Dr. Monika Zalnieriute
