Councilors - Pleas see note below from Tapani, clarifying the NCSG appointment of a temporary alternate. Thanks — J. Begin forwarded message: FROM Tapani Tarvainen <ncsg@tapani.tarvainen.info> Subject: Ed Morris and Tatiana Tropina Date: July 30, 2017 at 11:24:25 CDT TO James M. Bladel <jbladel@godaddy.com> Dear James, As some people have observed, my temporary alternate appointment for Ed Morris was a bit self-contradictory: when a councillor resigns, a temporary replacement should be appointed, not a temporary alternate. So I need to clarify things a bit: I have not received any formal resignation message from Ed, indeed the only communication from him regarding this is still what I posted to NCSG EC list earlier: https://lists.ncsg.is/pipermail/ncsg-ec/2017-July/000143.html We discussed about that in NCSG EC, whether that should be interpreted as resignation, and while we actually thought it could, we still need to figure out how to do it by the book if Ed continues to ignore requests for clarification. So, for now Ed's status is formally unchanged and Tatiana should be his temporary alternate until we sort this out. Please feel free to forward this to the Council.
