As you know, you have accepted a position on the incoming GNSO Council, which will be seated on Wednesday 28th October. At the same time, your term as ALAC Board Liaison doesn't end until 30th October. With regret, it is my duty to inform you that the Bylaws prohibit a member of the Board, including liaisons, from serving on any other AC or SO council at the same time. For further information, you may consult Article VI, s4,(2) at http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#VI. You will therefore need to notify the General Counsel's office of your resignation as ALAC Board Liaison, with effect on or before the time the GNSO Council meeting opens on Wednesday 28th October. As a related matter, you may wish to let the members of ALAC know which meeting you will attend, the Board or the GNSO, should Board meetings and GNSO Council meetings conflict before your GNSO Council term begins, between Saturday 24th October and the end of Tuesday, 27th. --- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director for At-Large Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, Inc.
