Election results: ccNSO Council Asia-Pacific region
by Joke Braeken Nov. 26, 2021

Nov. 26, 2021

Dear All, The voting in the elections for the position of ccNSO council member – Asia-Pacific region closed on Thursday, 25 November 2021 (23:59 UTC). This is to inform you about the election results. Election Results In accordance to the applicable rules, two candidates from the Asia-Pacific region were nominated, seconded and have accepted their nomination. Consequently, an election was held among the ccNSO members of the Asia-Pacific Region. At the closure of the elections, 34 members (64 %) casted their votes: Anil Kumar Jain received 13 votes Jordan Carter received 21 votes As per the relevant guideline, a majority of all ccNSO members in the Geographic Region entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum, and the selected candidate must receive the votes of a majority of those cast by ccNSO members within the Geographic Region. Electorate Only ccNSO members from a Geographic Region are allowed to vote for candidates to the ccNSO Council from that Geographic Region. When the ballots were distributed, the ccNSO counted 53 members from the Asia-Pacific region, who were all eligible to participate in the elections. Next Steps The Election Report - as prepared by the Election Process Manager - will be sent to the ccNSO Council for their consideration and adoption. As only one candidate was nominated and seconded within the nomination period for the African, European, Latin American / Caribbean and North American regions, no elections needed to be held in those regions. Since at the close of nominations there are no more valid candidates in the aforementioned geographic regions than there are seats on the ccNSO Council available for those regions, then the nominated candidates shall be selected to serve on the ccNSO Council. The term start of the appointed Councillors will be at the end of the ICANN73 Community Forum in March 2022.

Individuals are elected in their personal capacity and serve the ccTLD community. Councillors do not represent the views and interests of their employers. Candidates need to be neither resident in the region, nor a citizen of a country, within the region in which they stand for election. A valid candidate is one that has been nominated and seconded according to the ccNSO Council Election Guideline, and that has accepted the nomination. If there is more than one valid candidate in a Geographical Region, an election shall be conducted in that region. Voting will be by secret ballot: the ballot is identified only by a code and not by a name. Accepting nominations After closure of the nomination period, the Election Manager will ask the candidates that are nominated to accept their nomination. Self-nominations are understood to have accepted their nomination. The Election Manager will provide a list with the name(s) of the candidate(s) who have accepted their nomination. A record of who has nominated and seconded the candidate(s) is publicly available: http://forum.icann.org/lists/ccnso-nominations [forum.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/forum.icann.org/lists/ccnso-nominations__…> Next steps If at the close of nominations there are no more valid candidates for ICANN’s European geographic region than there are seats on the ccNSO Council available for that geographic region, then the nominated candidates shall be selected to serve on the ccNSO Council. Otherwise, an election shall be held – according to the timeline previously agreed upon by the ccNSO Council – for that geographic region, to select the ccNSO Councillors from among the valid candidates.
