Dear Councillors, The latest elections to the ccNSO Council demonstrated that there are a number of problems and issues that need to be addressed in order to be able to conduct future elections smoothly. The issues that were identified are noted in following reports: Nomination and Election Report for ccNSO Council 2013: http://www.ccnso.icann.org/node/35701 Extraordinary Nomination and Elections European Region: http://www.ccnso.icann.org/node/35699 The Council is therefore asked to approve and open a review on the current process of election and voting guidelines. Unless any objection is received by 28 November 2012, this call will be considered approved. At the same time, I would be grateful if those interested in participating in such a study group could let me know. Kind regards, Gabi
