Election for ICANN Board seat number 13
Hello All, In accordance with the ICANN bylaws (http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VI Under ARTICLE VI: Section 8, Paragraph 1, sub-paragraph e: "The regular terms of Seats 10 and 13 shall begin on the day six months after the conclusion of ICANN's annual meeting in 2003 and each ICANN annual meeting every third year after 2003;" An election is required for seat number 13, six months after the annual meeting in 2003 (held on 31 Oct 2003). We need to elect a person to fill seat number 13 by 30 April 2004. Seat 13 is currently occupied by: Alejandro Pisanty The process used in the last election is described at: http://www.dnso.org/elections/2003.GNSO-ICANN-seat13-nomination-proc.htm l Only GNSO council members may nominate and vote for candidates, although GNSO Council members should consult with their constituencies with regard to suitable candidates. The criteria for ICANN Board members are set out in the nomination process and are derived from the ICANN by-laws. Note that: "At any given time, no two Directors selected by a Supporting Organization shall be citizens of the same country or of countries located in the same Geographic Region. " The other GNSO elected director is Michael Palage, occupying seat 14, from the United States of America in the North American region. I recommend we use the same process as the last election, and call for nominations to begin now until 19 Feb 2004 (ie a 14 day period). Please indicate if you support this approach. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
