Important Information regarding Extraordinary nomination to fill vacant seat European Region
by Gabriella Schittek Sept. 8, 2012

Sept. 8, 2012

Dear members of the European Region, Juhani Juselius, who took seat as a Councillor for the European region in March 2012, has sadly announced that he wishes to leave his position on the ccNSO Council. An extraordinary nomination period to fill his seat will therefore take place at the same time as the regular nominations to the ccNSO Council. Only members from the European Region can nominate and second a candidate in this extraordinary nomination process! The person selected to fill Juhani's vacant position, will take seat on the Council from the moment the position has been filled. The term ends in March 2015. The person selected within the regular nomination process, will take seat on the Council from the Beijing meeting (April 2013). The term ends in March 2016. Please, note that a separate email address and archive have been created for nominations within the extraordinary nomination period. Emails with the different nomination addresses and further instructions on how to nominate a candidate will follow. Kind regards, Gabi

Results of Council votes + extended deadline
by Gabriella Schittek Sept. 7, 2012

Sept. 7, 2012

Dear Councillors, As you might know, we were not quorate at the last Council call, which meant that we had four topics to approve online: 1. Nomination & Election Timeline 2. New Capacity Study Group Members 3. ccNSO Statement Guidelines 4. New gTLD Input (reply to Bertrand's letter) The timeline received 10 approvals from all regions, so it passed. The New Capacity Study Group Members received 11 approvals from all regions, so it also passed. The ccNSO Statement Guidelines only received 8 votes in favour and one suggestion for amendements (and one vote supporting the guidelines only with the amendments). The email to Bertrand on New gTLDs received 3 votes in favour and one suggestion for amendments. As no one voted against the ccNSO Statement Guidelines and the New gTLD input, I understand some Councillors still need to get familiarised with the topic. I will forward them once again to the list and will extend the deadline for your approval to Wednesday, 12 September. Gabi

Thanks to Juhani Juselius
by Lesley Cowley Sept. 6, 2012

Sept. 6, 2012

Hi, I regret to advise that Juhani has tendered his resignation from the Council, as his other commitments have been making it increasing difficult for him to contribute to our work. Juhani has been a European Region Council Member since 2008 and I would like to express my sincere thanks for his service and support over the four years. I hope that we will all have the opportunity to say a formal thank you in Toronto. In the meantime, the Secretariat will advise on the process for a replacement in due course. Kind Regards, Lesley Lesley Cowley, OBE CEO Nominet Minerva House Edmund Halley Road Oxford Science Park Oxford, OX4 4DQ UK Tel: +44-(0)-1865-332211 http://www.nominet.org.uk/
