Do we want to give the candidates an opportunity to provide a brief written overview to staff which they can consolidate into a single document that the representative can share with their constituencies?

Subject: [Gnso-dnsabuse-pdp] Vice Chair Election Instructions (eBallot to be sent individually)
*EXTERNAL TO GT*
Dear DNSAM PDP 1 WG,
The time has come to elect the Vice Chair for this PDP. There are currently five candidates for Vice Chair:
Once the Vice Chair is selected from the WG membership, their appointing organization may appoint a new member as a replacement.
The process of voting will be a Ranked Choice vote, where every member of the PDP WG: Members and Participants (not Alternates) will have the opportunity
to vote. You will vote by ranking all 5 candidates in order of preference. You must rank each candidate 1 through 5.
If there is one candidate that receives a majority (>50%) in the first round of voting, they will be selected as Vice Chair. If the first round
does not produce a majority in favor of a single candidate, then a second round of a vote will be taken of the top two candidates only. Each Member and Participant will cast a single vote for one of the two remaining candidates.
You will be emailed an individual eBallot form for your voting. Please complete the form by Friday 27 March
23:59 UTC.
