Dear all, The voting on the ccNSO Council Recommendation closed yesterday (Tuesday 11 June 2013) at 23.59 UTC. At the time the voting started 136 ccTLD managers were member of the ccNSO and eligible to vote. To employ the results of the voting at least 50% of the members should have lodged their vote. In total 65 votes were cast, therefore we are 3 votes short. Therefore the votes of this round will NOT be employed. The ccNSO membership shall now have the opportunity to vote in a second, final round of voting. According to the Annex C section 13 of the ICANN Bylaws, this second round of voting will be conducted at least thirty days after this notice. You will be informed on the timeline etc. for the next round over the next days. The secretariat observed that the contact details of some of the members were not up to date. Only the representative of the ccTLD manager will receive a ballot for electronic voting at the email address submitted to the secretariat for that purpose. During the voting process some members noted that the this email address was not correct anymore and we were able to update them. The secretariat would appreciate if you could check whether your contact details relating to the ccNSO are still up to date. Please note they are not the same as those in the IANA root zone database. Finally, and on behalf of the secretariat, I wholeheartedly want to thank all members who took the effort to vote. Kind regards, Bart
