Dear ALAC members, The nomination period for regional NomCom representatives ended on August 25th and led to the following situation: * three regions have put forward only one candidate. His or her name will directly be submitted to the NomCom. * two regions have put forward two candidates and will require an ALAC vote These are the regions who have provided only one name, all of whom are eligible for appointment to the NomCom: * Asia-Pacific: Hong Xue * Europe: Desiree Milosevic * Latin-America and the Caribbean: MatÃas Altamira The appointment of the above candidates will directly be confirmed to the NomCom. With regards to Africa and North America, which both submitted two candidates, the ALAC members will elect one regional representative for each of these regions. An electronic vote has been set up to that effect for a period of seven day. It will end on September 8th at 1800 UTC. The ALAC members will receive their credentials for this election shortly. In case the candidates sent us their biographies they are linked to the ballot. The NomCom candidates for Africa and North America are: * Africa: Alan Levin, Khaled Koubaa * North America: Dharma Dailey Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart, Matthias Langenegger, Frederic Teboul ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff@atlarge.icann.org
