Dear ccNSO members, The nomination period to the ICANN board, seat 12, ended last Friday, 3 October. The only person that was nominated and seconded for this position was Mike Silber, .za (see http://forum.icann.org/lists/ccnso-boardnominations). Mike has also accepted his nomination. This means that no elections are needed to the ICANN Board, seat 12. Still Mike will be available to reply to your questions during the Q&A session in Los Angeles (Tuesday, 14 October 12.30 13.00 see http://ccnso.icann.org/meetings/los-angeles51/agenda.htm). If you have any questions which you wish to be asked on your behalf please, let us have them by Friday, 10 October (you can also ask them directly yourself, of course). Mike will only be confirmed for his new 3-year term once the Council approves the Nomination report which is expected to happen during the Council meeting next Wednesday. Kind regards, Gabi
