The registrar constituency, per its bylaws and rules of procedure, commenced the election process for these three seats. The nomination period has closed and the ballot is being prepared. I don't have the exact timing memorized, but I expect that if the processes is executed promptly, that we will have formal representatives in place over the next two weeks. (we require at least one week for nominations, one week for notice of the election and inspection of the ballot and one week for the actual election). GNSO.SECRETARIAT@GNSO.ICANN.ORG wrote:

On 16 February 2006 at the GNSO Council meeting it was resolved:
"That the Council wishes to appoint a task force for the PDP initiated on 6 February 2006 (PDP-Feb06) that consists of the full Council, including the Council members appointed by the Nominating Committee, the At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) and the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) liaisons.
That constituencies have the option to appoint representatives to the task force in place of their Council members.
That the Council recommends that the constituencies ensure that there is at least one council member from the constituency on the task force.
That Council members, who are not members of the task force, have observer status on the task force, and thus receive mail from the mailing lists and be able to attend task force calls and meetings as observers."
Could you please let me know by Friday 10 March 2006, who you have appointed to this task force. If you have appointed representatives in place of council members, please add their email contact details.
