Hello Everyone, I just wanted to put this out there even though it is not directly ICANN related. Diversity speaking, *Female candidates* especially from Asia Pacific, Latin America, Europe are strongly encouraged to apply, Feel free to distribute in your network if you have an ideal candidate. You can read the FAQ here <https://www.internetsociety.org/board-of-trustees/faq/> One aspect of the FAQ that stood out to me for this group... *I’m not a member of any Chapter or Organization member, can I still stand?* Anyone is welcome to stand, or to be nominated by someone else. However, a person’s skills, qualifications and experience as well as the confidence they inspire in ISOC’s membership to provide the necessary leadership and governance of the organization will be what gets them elected.
