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 Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
