---------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Service Provider and Connectivity Provider Constituency Generic Names Supporting Organization -- ICANN ---------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 December 05 REMINDER! CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - GNSO COUNCIL In accordance with both the ICANN bylaws and the ISPCP bylaws, this is the official call for nominations to one open seat for the GNSO Council. According to the ISPCP Articles adopted at the Santiago meeting of the ISP and Connectivity Providers constituency (and later amended between the Melbourne and Stockholm ICANN meetings) an election of representatives to the Names Council is to take place when representative's terms expire or when vacancies for the representative positions exist. With the adoption of the most recent ICANN By-laws, the ISPCP is required to elect one member to the GNSO Council. This member will be taking the seat currently held by Tony Holmes. We are looking for a person from the constituency to fill this position. The ISPCP Articles call for a nomination period of two weeks. As has been the policy of the constituency since the Stockholm ICANN meeting we ask the person currently holding the position of representative to the gNSO Names Council to continue in that role during the election process. Accordingly, the ISPCP Secretariat has asked Tony Holmes to continue in this role until the completion of the election. Every member of the ISPCP may nominate one candidate for the available position. This mail requests that you nominate eligible ISPCP members to be elected to the GNSO Names Council. To make a nomination please mail the following information to the election manager: --> the name of the nominee --> the electronic mail address of the nominee --> the ISPCP member organization to which the nominee belongs --> if possible, a voice phone number for the nominee During the nomination period, potential nominees will be asked to indicate their willingness to serve as a representative to the gNSO Names Council. The nomination period opens on Friday, 25 November 2005 at 2200 GMT closes on Friday, 9 December 2005 at 2200 GMT Nominations should be sent to the ISPCP Secretariat at: ispcp-nominations@mcfaddencentral.com If you have questions relating to the election, the constituency Articles or the nomination process please contact the current Secretariat of the constituency: Mark McFadden at ispcp-activity@mcfaddencentral.com. -- Mark McFadden Internet, Wireless and Security Certifications University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Programs at: http://www.sce-it.uwm.edu Contact me: e: mcf@uwm.edu Y!IM: mcfadden AIM: McElmside
