Dear NPOC Members,

I am following up on the email sent by the NCSG Chair. As the email states, due to the new ICANN travel deadline requiring 120 days to process travel plans.

The best possible option that evolved is to align the election dates making it easier for the election processes, including the Stakeholder Group and Constituencies elected positions.

All Executive Committee members are elected on an annual basis. More info on the duties, responsibilities and criteria can be found here: https://npoc.org/charter/

Please note that the period from the election to taking office is four (4) months. The term begins in October.
