Andrea and Terri,
Rafik and I are pleased to inform you that the NCPH has reached consensus to nominate Chris Buckridge to a second term as a director (Board Seat 14). I believe that
Terri is the GNSO Secretariat, but let us know if there is anything more that you need the NCPH to do in this process.
In addition, prior to this being made public, we would like to get a note of thanks out to the other candidates.
@Devan Reed
is that something that you can assist us with?
Kind regards,
John

Dear Non-Contracted Party House Chairs,
As per the ICANN
Bylaws[icann.org], Section 7.8.d. “At least six months before the date specified for the commencement of the term as specified in Section 7.8(a)(iv) through Section 7.8(a)(vi) above,
any Supporting Organization or the At-Large Community entitled to nominate a Director for a Seat with a term beginning that year shall give the EC Administration (with a copy to the Secretary and the Decisional Participants) written
notice of its nomination of Directors for seats with terms beginning at the conclusion of the annual meeting, and the EC Administration shall promptly provide the Secretary (with a copy to the Decisional
Participants) with written notice of the designation of those Directors. All such notices shall be posted promptly to the Website.”
With that in mind, staff has prepared a tentative
Board Seat 14 election
timeline below in accordance with the GNSO Operating Procedures 2.4.2. Please note this has been produced taking into account maximum duration possible for each time slot. Election results need therefore to be communicated
before the deadline of 06 April 2026 for the results to be confirmed during the 16 April 2026
GNSO Council meeting.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Terri
