Thanks Tapani,
I would like to share my observation about email threads, that gets too much responses when it comes to leadership positions. Not only in the NCUC, but in many ICANN working groups.  I think it is due to lack of any procedures for such cases. 

I take this opportunity, to call upon the task-force whom they are working on NCUC procedures, to consider this case. 

As for my opinion on the alternate councillor and since it is a short period, it could be divided among Avri and Martin. So one will resume during the period of ICANN 58 and soon to be switched to another for ICANN 59.

I think this will be a compromise solution since there are not written rules.  

Best wishes,
Nadira ALARAJ

Dear all,

As Amr Elsadr resigned from the council upon joining the staff, the
NCSG Executive Committee needs to appoint a temporary alternate to
replace him.

If you are interested in the job, please let me know as soon as
possible, but no later than Wednesday February 22 (one week from now).
The appointment is on the agenda of EC meeting on February 24, and we'd
want to have list of names at least two days in advance so we'll have
time to review them.

Please explain why you think you'd be good for the task and confirm
you could commit to the time it takes. Jumping in to the council
mid-term is not easy, so experience is one key criteria for the EC in
considering the appointment.

The term extends until ICANN60 in the fall in Abu Dhabi, although the
appointment can be made for a shorter time if the EC so chooses.
If this makes a difference for you, for example if you'd only be able
to do shorter time, or if you would not be interested in a shorter
appointment, let us know that, too.

Thank you,
