Hi Carlos, The purpose of this list is to provide a space for the SGs/Cs of the NCPH to coordinate work when/if needed. I suppose prepping for our intercessional meetings could also be done here, but I haven’t been involved in that process before. From the NCSG, you would need to speak to our Executive Committee members and Chair (Tapani). Sorry I couldn’t be of more help on this. Thanks. Amr

Thank you Amr,

who coordinates with the other members of the NCH? I understand there was a inter seasonal meeting early this year in Washington DC. Is there an internal mechanism to dela with these issues? Who is the speaker of the NCSG in this communications?

Best regards

Hi all,

I’m hoping that by now, everybody who needs to be on this list is actually subscribed to it.

I was wondering if (and how) folks would like to begin a discussion on the next round of elections. The deadline to nominate candidates is on November 5th. Although the CPH hasn’t submitted a candidate yet, my understanding is that they plan on running James Bladel again.

During the council development session, we had discussed the possibility of trying to have a candidate by consensus, and only resorting to voting as a last resort. I’m not sure we can do this over the next few days, but would be happy to learn that we can. Hearing from others here seems like a reasonable first step to me.

We may also want to discuss the selection of a VC from the NCPH. My understanding is that Heather Forrest is willing to serve in this capacity. I would be grateful to hear thoughts on this as well.

Thanks.

Amr, This is where I think the CSG stands (I'm sure I will be corrected by others on the list, if I get it wrong). On the chair front, we have now had a conference call with James Bladel where we were able to speak at greater length with James. At this point, it seems unlikely (from the CSG point of view) that the NCPH would seek to nominate a candidate to oppose James (especially since CSG and NCSG haven't discussed the matter, and we are about 24 hours away from the deadline for nominations). Actually nominating James seems unlikely, at best. However, we have considered the possibility of suggesting that James be elected "by acclamation" rather than going to a ballot (if that is procedurally feasible). On the Vice Chair front, I can confirm that Heather is more than willing to serve as Vice Chair, and the CSG fully supports Heather in that regard. Recognizing that we need to resolve the long-term issue of how to choose and/or rotate the VC slot between the SGs, it would be great if the CSG and NCSG could come together on Heather at this time. Our possible campaign slogan: "Acclaim for James! Come Together on Heather!" Greg On Tue, Nov 3, 2015 at 10:28 AM, Amr Elsadr <aelsadr@egyptig.org> wrote:

Hi,

Reposting as it seems we may have had some new subscriptions to this list over-night.

Thanks.
