Mikey, I understand that each SG is responsible first for identifying candidates, and that process is apparently underway within the NCSG. Candidates need to voice their interest after the election process is finalized and that should happen soon. Sarah Sarah B.

Makes sense. My understanding is that the election for this Board seat is imminent (a date for that, if anyone knows it, would be helpful) so, if this is a "potential candidate" discussion, it would be appropriate to give equal time to the BC's potential candidate, Marilyn. In that way, the members could measure Bill's views on what he knows broadly about the day-to-day decisions facing ICANN and Internet governance against the Business Constituency's potential candidate. Doesn't that make more sense? Kind regards, RA Ronald N.

Bill's name was raised as a potential board candidate and Ayesha / Zahid suggested a 'get to know' call would be a good idea. Members present were affirmative to this idea. You make a sound point, I have asked Sarah to clarify the format for this item on the agenda. Chris Chaplow Managing Director Andalucia Web Solutions Avenida del Carmen 9 Ed.
