Hello Lesley & Councillors, Sorry about the late reply to this. Regarding the process of replacing Juhani Juselius: As you probably know, the regular Nomination period is kicking off next Monday. As Juhani's resignation came so close to this period, we had to think of a way where the ccNSO members won't confuse the two nomination processes. We felt that it would be best to keep the same timeline as the regular nomination period (i.e. Starting on Monday, 10 September and then follow it through). However, to distinguish the two nominations (which is important, especially due to the different seating terms), there will be separate nomination email lists and nomination archives. For the regular nomination period, the usual address will be used: ccnso-nominations@icann.org<mailto:ccnso-nominations@icann.org> and the usual archive: http://forum.icann.org/lists/ccnso-nominations/ For the extraordinary nomination period, a new address will be used: ccnso-extranominations@icann.org<mailto:ccnso-extranominations@icann.org> and a new archive http://forum.icann.org/lists/ccnso-extranominations/<http://forum.icann.org/lists/ccnso-nominations/> (these two are still being set up). The nominations will be posted in two separate emails, to make it clear what people are nominating whom for. There will also be two separate announcements on our website. I hope this solution is satisfactory for all. Kind regards, Gabi From: Lesley Cowley <lesley@nominet.org.uk<mailto:lesley@nominet.org.uk>> Date: Thursday, August 30, 2012 4:46 PM To: ccNSO Council <ccnso-council@icann.org<mailto:ccnso-council@icann.org>> Cc: Gabriella Schittek <gabriella.schittek@icann.org<mailto:gabriella.schittek@icann.org>>, Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel@icann.org<mailto:bart.boswinkel@icann.org>> Subject: Thanks to Juhani Juselius 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.
