in due course on the ASO web site, at http://www.aso.icann.org
In compliance with the ASO MoU (http://www.aso.icann.org/docs/aso-mou.html),
the Address Council and ICANN hereby call for nominations to the ICANN
Board, of candidates to fill vacant ASO seats on the ICANN board as they
become vacant. The first such seat scheduled to become vacant is currently
occupied by Mr. Pindar Wong, who will stand down on 2 November 2000 (the 12
month anniversary of his appointment). However, candidates nominated at this
time may also be chosen to fill seats which become vacant before or after
this time. Note that appointments to the ICANN board must satisfy the
geographic diversity constraints specified in section 3c of the ASO MoU.
Any individual may be nominated within this process, with the exception of

[Note "reply-to:" field]
(with apologies for duplicates)
Reminder: ICANN ASO - Website and Discussion Lists
This is an announcement to all parties with interests in management of
Internet Address space and related resources.
The Address Supporting Organisation of ICANN (the Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers) was established last year, and has
assumed its responsibilities under the ICANN Bylaws for coordination
of global policy development in relation to Internet Addresses and
related resources. The nine-member Address Council has also been
established, in accordance with the ASO MoU and ICANN Bylaws.
Since its establishment, the ASO has established mailing lists and a
website to ensure that its processes are open and transparent, and
accessible to all parties with an interest in Internet resource
management issues.
Three ASO mailing lists are now available for public access to ASO
information, and for input into the ASO process:
aso-announce - for announcements and other information
relating to the ASO (read only list)
aso-policy - for open discussion on policy and other
ASO matters (open subscription list)
aso-comment - for comment and input of any kind (no
subscription necessary)
The ASO website is also now available, at http://www.aso.icann.org,
and carries information relating to the ASO, Address Council, and
policy matters which may be under consideration; as well as complete
archives of the above mailing lists.
At this time the Address Council is seeking participants in the ASO
process, and encourages all interested parties to subscribe to the
mailing lists above. For information on how to subscribe, please
visit the ASO website.
We look forward to your participation!
Paul Wilson
for the ASO Address Council.
