We hope that you are willing to contribute to a small, heart-warming present, which we will hand over to Steve in Abu Dhabi. The idea is to compile an album of postcards from all over the world, from all the people from the ccTLD community. So, please bring a nice postcard – preferably from your hometown. If you wish, write a “personal thank you”-note or any other note you would like to share with Steve on the back of the postcard or in a separate letter. Please give your postcards either to Joke Braeken, Kim Carlson, Bart Boswinkel or me in Abu Dhabi. The ccNSO Secretariat will then put all these cards and letters to the album.

Individuals are elected in their personal capacity and serve the ccTLD community. Councillors do not represent the views and interests of their employers. Candidates need to be neither resident in the region nor a citizen of a country within the region in which they stand for election. A valid candidate is one that has been nominated and seconded according to the ccNSO council Election Guideline, and that has accepted the nomination. If there is more than one valid candidate in a Geographical Region, an election shall be conducted in that region. Voting will be by secret ballot: the ballot is identified only by a code and not by a name. Accepting nominations After closure of the nomination period, the Election Manager will ask the candidates that are nominated to accept their nomination. Self-nominations are understood to have accepted their nomination. The Election Manager will provide a list with the name(s) of the candidate(s) who have accepted their nomination. A record of who has nominated and seconded the candidate(s) is publicly available: http://forum.icann.org/lists/ccnso-nominations[forum.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__forum.icann.org_lists_c…> Next steps If at the close of nominations there are no more valid candidates in a particular geographic region than there are seats on the ccNSO Council available for that geographic region, then the nominated candidates shall be selected to serve on the ccNSO Council. Otherwise, an election shall be held for that geographic region, to select the ccNSO Councillors from among the valid candidates.

FW: withdrawal as nomcom appointee
by Katrina Sataki Oct. 16, 2017

Oct. 16, 2017

FYI From: Marita Moll [mailto:mmoll@ca.inter.net] Sent: Saturday, October 14, 2017 1:19 PM To: Katrina Sataki <katrina(a)nic.lv> Subject: Re: withdrawal as nomcom appointee Dear Katrina I am hereby acknowledging you apology with my thanks. Marita Moll On 10/9/2017 7:25 PM, Katrina Sataki wrote: Dear Ms Moll, Thank you for your email informing us, the NomCom, and ICANN that you have withdrawn from your NomCom appointment to the ccNSO Council. The Council understands how you must feel regarding this situation, and we would like to sincerely thank you for your understanding, and for the action that you took to resolve this matter. Please accept our sincere apologies for how this matter played out. We also regret the length of time that elapsed, but this was due in no small part for the need of the Council to formally debate this matter in its regularly scheduled monthly meeting, and to draft and approve the letter to the NomCom. We very much encourage you to remain involved in the ICANN multi-stakeholder process, as you have considerable skills to lend to the ICANN ecosystem. We thank you again for your understanding in this matter. Warmest Regards, Katrina Sataki, on behalf of the ccNSO Council From: Marita Moll [mailto:mmoll@ca.inter.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2017 11:08 PM To: Katrina Sataki <mailto:katrina@nic.lv> <katrina(a)nic.lv>; 'hph(a)oslo.net <mailto:hph@oslo.net> ' <mailto:hph@oslo.net> <hph(a)oslo.net> Cc: 'Steve Crocker' <mailto:steve.crocker@board.icann.org> <steve.crocker(a)board.icann.org>; 'john.jeffrey(a)icann.org <mailto:john.jeffrey@icann.org> ' <mailto:john.jeffrey@icann.org> <john.jeffrey(a)icann.org>; 'Joette Youkhanna' <mailto:joette.youkhanna@icann.org> <joette.youkhanna(a)icann.org>; Herb Waye <mailto:herb.waye@icann.org> <herb.waye(a)icann.org> Subject: withdrawal as nomcom appointee VIA EMAIL October 4, 2017 To: Mr. Hans Petter Holen, Chair, ICANN Nominating Committee, Ms. Katrina Sataki, Chair, ccNSO CC: Steve Crocker, Chair, ICANN Board of Directors, John Jeffrey, ICANN Legal Council, Herb Waye, ICANN Ombudsman Dear Mr. Holen and Ms. Sataki: This is to inform you that, in order to close the chapter on this unfortunate affair, I am withdrawing as nomcom appointee on the ccNSO council. Although I have been advised that my selection is still in effect and there is nothing prohibiting me from taking this position, it would be far too difficult to establish a positive working relationship in the negative environment that has developed around my selection. This is regrettable as I think I have a lot to contribute to the work of ccNSO. However, I am withdrawing at this time so the nomcom can select another candidate before the Abu Dhabi meeting. I do want to take this opportunity to express my feelings about the events of the last few weeks. For a volunteer community-based participant in this still evolving multi-stakeholder model, this has been a difficult time. I believe in the model and I was offering to contribute a considerable amount of my personal time and resources to the effort. Suddenly I was caught in the cross-fire of a rapidly escalating dispute between the ccNSO and the nomcom. The furor which erupted around my selection apparently resulted from different understandings on candidate eligibility between these two parties. This confusion needs to be addressed before anyone else is caught in the middle of such a dispute. It is also unacceptable that I was not informed about the conflict for an entire month after my selection was announced, a full month in which not one person contacted me to explain the situation. It was not until a few days ago, on Sept. 29, that I received an e-mail from the ccNSO chair informing me about the letter sent to the nomcom denouncing my appointment. I was shocked. Before I had a chance to think about it, the letter in question rapidly circulated and, within a few days, a situation that could have been contained and resolved early on became a news story on the Internet. At this point I contacted ICANN Ombudsman Herb Waye and I am very grateful for his steady guidance in helping me work through this process. Finally, I hope both parties will agree that I am owed a full and public apology for the way this dispute was handled, allowing it to spiral out of control. I know it was never my fault, but it obviously affects me as I am the candidate in question. My standing inside and outside the ICANN community should not suffer from this internecine dispute in which, everyone agrees, I am an innocent party. Sincerely Marita Moll Sincerely Marita Moll
