Re: [ccTLDcommunity] ICANN Board Nomination Results
by Gabriella Schittek Oct. 12, 2010

Oct. 12, 2010

Patricio, The nomination period to the board followed the ccNSO Rules and Guidelines, which state ³Mid September announcement Election manager to call for Nominations: € Call for Nomination and secondment² (see http://www.ccnso.icann.org/about/ccnso-rules-and-guidelines-25jun08.pdf, page 26). The call for nominations was made on the 15th September, exactly following the timeline. The rules & guidelines foresee much spare time in case elections and run-off elections need to be held. Such elections can drag on for many months, and the thought is to have a board member appointed by the March meeting at the latest. It is therefore desirable to follow the guidelines as much as possible. Since there was only one candidate during this nomination period, no elections or run-off elections needed to be held and therefore this result was reached very quickly. The ccNSO Rules & Guidelines were adopted in June 2008, which means they were only used once in the past, when appointing Mike Silber to the board. The call for nominations in his case was made on the 17 November 2008. The reason for the delay was entirely because I, acting as election manager, did not realise that the call had to be done earlier. After carefully reading the guidelines, I made sure such a delay would not happen again. I hope this clarifies.

Mission Statement - Hiro Hotta - Council elections AP region
by Gabriella Schittek Oct. 5, 2010

Oct. 5, 2010

Dear all, Below is the mission statement of Hiro Hotta. Hiro is one of the candidates to the ccNSO Council for the Asia-Pacific region. Elections will start on the 12th October 2010. Kind regards, Gabi === October 2010 MISSION STATEMENT (Candidate of ccNSO Councilor) Hirofumi Hotta My involvement in ICANN started in the year of 1999 when I was elected as DNSO (Domain Name Supporting Organization) Councilor in the second ICANN meeting. At that time, I was Service Creation Manager of a telecom company launching an ISP service as well as Chairman of APIA (Asia and Pacific Internet Association). Applying the extensive experience in the field of Internet service development, I contributed to the discussion in ISP Constituency and DNSO. Since I joined .JP ccTLD registry (JPRS) in 2001, I have been responsible for corporate and service planning. Especially I have been active in the fields related to IDN and ENUM, and participated in numerous community initiatives in the international fora including ICANN. Some of the teams I have contributed to are : - President's Advisory Committee for IDNs (ICANN), - Accountability Framework Working Group (ccNSO), and - Joint Engineering Team for CJK IDNs (several ccTLDs). Roles of ccTLDs are rapidly spreading and deepening in our lives. In this environment, ccTLDs need to be more visible in - satisfying various stakeholder' needs (e.g., IDN TLDs), - connecting various stakeholders to the Internet in a secure and stable manner, and - giving unique values to ccTLDs in the era of emerging gTLDs by appropriately serving the community. As seen in the personal background, I have wide and deep knowledge and experiences both in technical and business field in running a ccTLD. And I also have personal history in international contribution. In the coming years of dynamic environment, I'll try to use my experience and enthusiasm to raise the value of ccTLDs in the aspect of governance, business, and technology. ===
