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
