Dear Gabi, Councillors I fully second the review. Having had an experience of going through an election and experiencing the problem of outdated (if not unresponsive) African ccNSO members' admin & technical contacts, I certainly felt our election process is probably not as sustainable as it could be. Yet I thought this was probably only a problem for the African region so I kept quiet but now that AP & EU have had similar experiences, the review should proceed.

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
