RE: [council] Re: Election for ICANN Board seat number 13
Thnaks Marilyn. My apologies for getting it wrong - I missed it when I read it last time. Upon reading the bylaws again I have found a statement: From: http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm Article VI, Section 8, paragraph 5: "Subject to the provisions of the Transition Article of these Bylaws, no Director may serve more than three consecutive terms. For these purposes, a person selected to fill a vacancy in a term shall not be deemed to have served that term." Also from the Transition Article XX, Section 2, paragraph 8: "In applying the term-limitation provision of Section 8(5) of Article VI, a Director's service on the Board before the Effective Date and Time of the New Board shall count as one term." Thus Alejandro Pisanty has served: - one term prior to the New Board - one term since the New Board (for 1 year) And thus is eligible for a third term. Regards, Bruce Tonkin

I am under the impression that there is a limit to the number of terms that a board member can serve, but I could be wrong.

Hello Cary,
Is the incumbent eligible for reelection?
I believe so. I couldn't see anything in the bylaws that relates to the number of terms a director may serve.
I will check with the ICANN General Counsel.
Regards, Bruce
