REMINDER: Call for ICANN Board nominations (ASO)

In compliance with the ASO MoU (http://www.aso.icann.org/docs/aso-mou.html), the Address Council and ICANN have issued a call for nominations to the ICANN Board, of candidates to fill vacant ASO seats on the ICANN board as they become vacant.

The first ASO seat scheduled to become vacant is currently occupied by Mr. Pindar Wong, who will stand down from the ICANN Board on 30 September

However, candidates nominated at this time may also be chosen by the AC 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 any official of a national government or a multinational entity established by treaty or other agreement between national governments (ICANN Bylaws Art. V., Sec 5.). Self-nominations are permitted.

Nominations should be sent by email to <secretariat@aso.icann.org> and should state the following details :

If the nominee is not contactable via email then the nomination will not be confirmed, and nominee must explicitly confirm the nomination for the nomination to be considered confirmed.

Please note that this nomination both serves the purpose of findig a sucessor to Pindar Wong, but also serves the purpose of creating a list of candidates to supplement the ICANN board in the unlikely case any of the other board members are stepping down. -hph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Wilson" <pwilson@apnic.net> To: <aso-announce@aso.icann.org> Sent: Friday, April 14, 2000 3:06 AM Subject: [aso-policy] [aso-announce] REMINDER: ICANN Board nominations 2000. * *
