Dear ISPCP members Everyone should already be aware that the nomination period for new ISPCP GNSO Councillors is now over and we should have moved forward with the election process. Unfortunately its recently become apparent there were some problems with the mailing list across this period which appears to have impacted the acceptance process required from nominees. This note is to advised everyone that the election process is now due to be launched tomorrow with one week allowed for voting. The two successful candidates will also receive travel support from ICANN to attend the Seoul meeting, which underlines the urgency of completing this process. If for any reason you do NOT receive details of the ballot by close of play tomorrow, please let me know ASAP, otherwise I will assume the mailing list is now working OK. Regards Tony
