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 requiring120 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. Therefore, our elections timeline is the following: *Date* *Action* May 13 - June 07 Check in period 23 May - 06 June Nomination period 07 June: Deadline for nomination acceptance and candidate statement. *Check in ends.* 09 June: Voter roll finalized 08/09 June: Meet the candidates calls 10 June - 23 June: Voting Period 24 June: Results announced *Please note that the period from the election to taking office is a four (4) months.* Regards, -- Joan Kerr, Entrepreneur, Artist, Humanitarian _____________________________________ Chair, Climate Smart Victory Garden Team Chair, ICANN, Not for Profit Operations Constituency Chair, IEEE Sustainable Agriculture Working Group Chair, Science for Peace, Climate Smart Victory Gardens Advisor, IEEE Humanitarian Initiatives Committee Advisor, Climate Smart Agriculture Youth Network, (CSAYN) Canada UN WSIS Award Recipient, for Content & Creativity Durham Region Recipient, Community Partnership Award Founder, Foundation for Building Sustainable Communities www.joankerr.ca, www.fbsc.org Skype: joankerr_fbsc 1-416-907-0783
