---------------------------------------------------------------- Internet Service Provider and Connectivity Provider Constituency Generic Names Supporting Organization -- ICANN ---------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 January 28 CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - GNSO COUNCIL In accordance with both the ICANN bylaws and the ISPCP bylaws, this is the official call for nominations to two open seats 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 two members to the GNSO Council. These two members will be taking the seats currently held by Tony Harris and Greg Ruth. We are looking for two people from the constituency to fill these two seats. Accordingly we are looking for nominations to fill two positions on the executive committee. The ISPCP Articles call for a nomination period of two weeks. Every member of the ISPCP may nominate one candidate for each of the two available positions. 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 on the ISPCP executive. The nomination period opens on Friday, 28 January 2005 at 2200 GMT closes on Friday, 11 February 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.
