Re: [registrars] **** _no_ **** EMERGENCY NC NOMINATION / ELECTION

[François Collignon <collignon@7ways.net>]

Hello folks,

I believe that we need to keep Erica in NC until she clarify the situation,
in any case only after the Icann meeting in LA the vote take place if need.
I believe that Erica has its place in NC at this time.

best regards,
francois
