Dear All, The At-Large Selection design team is seeking candidatures from LACRALO for the At-Large Board Member Selection Committee (ABSC). The ABSC will assist the At-Large Director process by revising the At-Large Board member candidatures and creating a short-list for the At-Large Board Member election. The ABSC will be composed of two representatives from each ICANN region and a Chair. All ABSC members will need to confirm their willingness and ability to dedicate significant time to the process. You may find a list of ABSC candidates from all At-Large regions under https://st.icann.org/alac-docs/index.cgi?at_large_board_selection_committee If you are interested in joining the ABSC, please reply to this message. Thank you. ********* What will the ABSC be doing exactly? The ABSC is tasked with creating a public list of candidates for the At-Large Board member position. To do so, the ABSC will not just passively wait to hear from interested At-Large insiders, but will also identify and solicit candidacies from people who would qualify and may be seen to fulfill the positions. There should be a diversity of choices in the list of candidates for the At-Large Board member, but qualified people should not be excluded because there are "too many" from any one region, gender, or other relevant characteristic. Through a process of questionnaires and/or interviews, the ABSC would reduce the total list of applicants to some ³small² number of candidates. All documents and deliberations of the ABSC shall be confidential and this confidentiality shall continue past the existence of any particular ABSC. -- Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Matthias Langenegger, Gisella Gruber-White, Marilyn Vernon, Kristina Nordström ICANN At-Large Staff email: staff[at]atlarge.icann.org website: www.atlarge.icann.org On 04/02/2010 17:12, "Carlton Samuels" <carlton.samuels@gmail.com> wrote:
Dear Colleagues: I may have missed a posting but the ABSdt and ABSC requires membership from the LACRALO. Members so minded must indicate their availability for one or other team.
I am proposing former ALAC Chair Jacqueline Morris of Trinidad and Tobago as a member of ABSC and Lance Hinds of Guyana as a member of ABSdt.
Kind regards, Carlton Samuels
