This email is also sent to info@uasg.tech for the purposes of the nomination.Richard is cc-ed herein (hence his current email address) and since he has been serving as Vice Chair, I understand that his phone number should already be on file (if not I am happy to provide further).   From: UA-discuss [mailto:ua-discuss-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Don HollanderSent: Wednesday, February 20, 2019 3:59 PMTo: Roberto Gaetano <roberto_gaetano@hotmail.com>Cc: Universal Acceptance <ua-discuss@icann.org>Subject: Re: [UA-discuss] Call for Nominations Yes.  The same cohort who can stand can vote. We have taken the voting addresses as of today. Actually, the existing Chair is precluded from standing again as Chair and two of the existing vice-chars are precluded from standing as vice-chairs.   In all three cases they have served the maximum two terms.   But they already know that. D From: Roberto Gaetano <roberto_gaetano@hotmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, 20 February 2019 7:33 PMTo: Don Hollander <don.hollander@icann.org>Cc: Universal Acceptance <ua-discuss@icann.org>Subject: [Ext] Re: [UA-discuss] Call for Nominations I have a question. The text says that “ Anyone subscribed to the UA-discuss@icann.org mailing list is eligible to stand”. However, it does not say - or I have missed - who can vote.I assume that it is all the subscribers of the UA-discuss@icann.org mailing list, but I would like to have confirmation.Thanks,Roberto  On 20.02.2019, at 04:52, Don Hollander <don.hollander@icann.org> wrote: Elections for UASG Chair and Vice-Chair – 2019V2019-02-20 The UASG is having elections for the Chair and Vice Chair.  Here’s the process.   NB: All times are 23:00 UTCNominationsThis is a call for nominations.   Anyone subscribed to the UA-discuss@icann.orgmailing list is eligible to stand.Nominations (including self-nominations) should be sent to info@uasg.tech and should include:the name of the person nominatedthe position(s) for which they are nominatedcontact details for the person nominated.  This should include an email address and a telephone number. The election administrator will verify that the nominated person accepts the nomination. Once the nomination deadline has passed on February 27 2019 a list of candidates will be prepared showing name, email address, photo and candidate statement.  Names will be shown by position in alphabetical order of surnames. Candidates can be nominated for Chair, Vice-Chair or both. Relevant links:Position Description-Chair https://uasg.tech/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/07-Position-Description-Chair-U...
