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
