Please note that the date and time stamp
on the email below is wrong. I had a mother board meltdown and the technician
and I failed to note the time/date stamp got quite screwed up. SORRY. I just
fixed it, I hope. In any case, for the record, it is Thursday p.m. EST 4:33 pm.
HOPEFULLY,the date/time stamp agrees with that.
Apologies for the confusing date/stamp on
the original email I posted to the Council, and to others.

The content is correct, however, in the

announcement of interest in standing for election to the ICANN board
Dear colleagues,
I wanted to announce my resignation from the Nominating
Committee as a representative from the BC, and advise fellow councilors
of my interest in standing for election to the vacant Board seat now open for
nomination.
In order to stand for election, I have advised the
Nominating Committee that I am resigning [from the Nominating Committee]and
have asked to be removed from the Nominating Committee list and activities.
In order to be fully transparent, I advise the Council that
I am disputing an interpretation by the General Counsel regarding my
eligibility to stand for election due to the Nominating Committee service. I
have filed an ombudsman’s appeal and am preparing a Reconsideration
Request. In my view, I am fully qualified, now that I have resigned from the
Nominating committee to be a candidate for election. The General Counsel has
disagreed with my eligibility status, thus my appeals through the ombudsman,
and possibly Reconsideration.
I don’t mean to clog the Council list with this topic,
since that would be inappropriate, but please do let me know of any questions
you may have. If nominated and seconded, then I’ll have a chance to
campaign, like any other candidate. At this point, the purpose of this posting
is informational.
Best regards,
Marilyn Cade
