We need to put it on the NC agenda, and then vote whatever motion suggested.
See IC rules in http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/200008.NC-intake.v4.html

I fully agree that Philip has done a superb job, moreover since we have
the IC, the NC eventually respects ICANN Bylaws with agendas published
at least 14 days in advance.
But I do not think it is a shame to change -- to the contrary it was wanted 
by Philip and the IC and considered sane to rotate IC members from time 
to time. Personaly I understood the IC as a body not including the NC Chair,
because the IC agendas always starts with:
      IC submits draft agenda to chair latest [DATE]
      Chair amends/approves and Secretary posts to NC [DATE+1]
It was the reason for my question to Philip.

Please do not misunderstand -- you are an excellent candidate.
But I do believe it is better to sent the call for replacement to the 
whole NC and then let them to choose the IC chair.

Philip set a deadline for final agenda on Monday 8 Jan (in less than 48 hours),
I trust he will add this small item, then I will sent it out to the NC.
I am happy you can work on 26 Feb -- there is so many items
to consider.

Best,
Elisabeth
