Dear Colleagues, As discussed on our last teleconference, we had one statement of interest submitted for North American Secretariat, from Darlene Thompson, and she has been selected by acclamation. As no one submitted a statement of interest for Chair, we agreed to reopen the call for a two week period. This time we will have at least one statement of interest, as I, Interim Chair, will put my name in the hat in an email following this one. If others submit their names, then Darlene will oversee an election. If only one candidate remains interested, then we will take steps to approve the appointment, for a period of approximately one year (through the end of the ICANN annual meeting in 2008), by acclamation. Those interested, please forward names and backgrounds to Darlene, who will post them to the list.
