Dear Councillors,

Council wide nominations are closed.
http://gnso.icann.org/elections/election-procedures-12oct09.htm

There are 3 candidates who have been duly nominated, seconded and =
submitted
candidacy statements:

Olga Cavalli
http://gnso.icann.org/elections/cavalli-statement-12oct09.htm

St=E9phane van Gelder
http://gnso.icann.org/elections/van-gelder-statement-14oct09.htm

Chuck Gomes
http://gnso.icann.org/elections/gomes-statement-14oct09.htm

We have now reached the Part 2  where each House determines a Candidate.

This process closes on Wednesday, 21 October at 23:00 UTC and the result
should be announced and sent to the council mailing list and
<gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org> by Wednesday 21 October 2009 at 23:00 =
UTC.

Part 2 _Each House determines a Candidate_

After council wide nominations are closed, each house will be allowed to
select one candidate for GNSO Council Chair from the pool of nominees.

A candidate for GNSO Council Chair does not need to be a member of the =
house
selecting the candidate. Should the non voting NCA be elected as chair
he/she would be a non-voting chair.

Each house must announce their chosen candidate by 21 October 2009 at 23
UTC.

The two houses may, separately, select the same candidate from the =
nominee
pool if they so wish.

The candidates from each of the houses shall have the opportunity of =
meeting
with Council Members at the GNSO Working Group sessions in Seoul on =
Saturday
morning, 24 October 2009.

(Proposed agenda:
https://st.icann.org/gnso-council/index.cgi?agenda_24_oct_2009)

B. PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR THE VOTING

For this election, the voting will take place at the public Council =
meeting
in Seoul on Wednesday, 28 October 2009.

Avri Doria, current GNSO Council chair, will serve as non-voting chair =
of
the bicameral Council meeting on 28 October until such time as a new =
chair
is elected, at which time the new chair will assume the chair
responsibilities.

If an absentee ballot is required to complete the chair's election, this
will be a 24 hour ballot scheduled to end on 29 October. If no chair has
been elected by the end of the Annual meeting on 30 October, the =
vice-chairs
will assume the chair responsibilities as defined in the Bylaws and a =
runoff
will be scheduled as determined in the Council Procedures.

The winning candidate needs 60% of the votes of each house.

The Council shall inform the Board and the Community appropriately and =
post
the election results on the GNSO website within 2 business days =
following
the election.

In the event that the GNSO Council has not elected a GNSO Council Chair =
by
the end of the previous Chair's term, the Vice-Chairs will serve as =
Interim
GNSO Co-Chairs until a successful election can be held.

(Note: The Election of Vice chairs is house specific and will be defined
elsewhere)

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
Kind regards,

Glen
