Hello everyone, This email is to confirm for the record that the SCI has agreed to appoint Cintra as its Vice-Chair for 2014. Cintra was the only Vice-Chair candidate, and Marie-Laure Lemineur (NPOC Chair) had previously confirmed that Cintra would be the primary representative from NPOC to the SCI, with Marie-Laure moving to the alternate slot. As a result, Cintra was eligible to stand for the Vice-Chair position in accordance with the SCI Charter, and was confirmed in that appointment by the SCI at its meeting yesterday. Congratulations, Cintra! Cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: +1 603 574 4892 Email: mary.wong@icann.org * One World.

Ron and SCI members,
As of this moment the only volunteer for Vice-Chair is Cintra, who is currently an alternate for the NPOC. However, Marie-Laure has offered to switch to alternate if need be. I've put this discussion on the agenda for tomorrow's call.
Best regards,
Julie

Ron and SCI members,
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable holiday!
The SCI member list is updated. Marie-Laure and Cintra are in their original positions as primary and alternate, respectively, until we hear otherwise.
Best regards,
Julie

Dear Ron and al.
I would be willing to switch with Cintra and become NPOC alternate if there is no other primary representative volunteering for the position before the deadline expires.
best,
Marie-laure

Dear Cintra, Dear all,
It occurs to me that one way to resolve the issue of Cintra being an alternate is for her constituency to determine if it might make sense to make her the primary representative rather than the alternate. I apologize for not knowing off the top of my head who the primary is (and unfortunately our Wiki page is not up to date regarding our current Committee members Julie can you please organize the updates?).
I thought that that might be a consideration to avoid having to get a waiver to our brand new Charter
That said, I do not want this message to discourage other primary representatives that may wish to throw their hats into the Vice Chair ring.
Thank you,

Dear SCI members,
As noted previously, Ron Andruff volunteered to serve a second term as Chair. As there were no other volunteers Ron was affirmed as 2014 SCI Chair during the meeting on 17 December 2013.
During that meeting the also SCI agreed that it was important to have a Vice-Chair. Cintra Sooknanan, Alternate NPOC Representative, volunteered for the position.
Please let me know if anyone else wishes to volunteer or nominate someone to the position of Vice-Chair by Friday, 20 December COB.
If there are no other volunteers for the position of Vice-Chair the SCI will ask for Cintra to be affirmed by its members and will request from the GNSO Council a exception to the SCI Charter allowing an Alternate Member to be a Vice-Chair.
Best regards,
Julie
