  • Thread-topic: Reminder regarding terms of office

Hello All,

Just a reminder regarding terms of office.

(1) My term as chair expires on 20 Nov 2004.

From: http://www.gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-20nov03.shtml

Decision 1: Bruce Tonkin is elected GNSO Council chair for one year,
November 20, 2003 to November 20, 2004.

So we will need to hold an election for GNSO chair.


(2) The terms of many of the Council members (2 per constituency) expire
at the end of ICANN's 2004 Annual General Meeting (set for 5 Dec 2004).

From: http://www.gnso.icann.org/council/members.shtml


NorthA -  Marilyn Cade (term expires end of annual meeting 2004) 
NorthA  - Ken Stubbs (term expires end of annual meeting 2004) 
AsiaPac  - Philip Colebrook (term expires end of annual meeting 2004) 
LatinAC  - Tony Harris (term expires end of annual meeting 2004) 
NorthAm - Greg Ruth (term expires end of annual meeting 2004) 
AsiaPac- Jisuk Woo (term expires end of annual meeting 2004) 
LatinAC  - Carlos Afonso (term expires end of annual meeting 2004) 
NorthA  - Ross Rader (term expires end of annual meeting 2004) 
Europe  - Thomas Keller (term expires end of annual meeting 2004) 
LatinAC - Kiyoshi I. Tsuru A. (term expires end of annual meeting 2004) 
NorthA  - Lucy Nichols (term expires end of annual meeting 2004) 
Europe  - Amadeu Abril i Abril - Term: conclusion of the Annual Meeting
2004 

I recommend constituencies begin to plan elections for this year.

Under the current bylaws, we will drop from 3 to 2 representatives per
constituency.

My understanding is that the GNSO Council desires to retain 3
representatives, but we will need to get the Board to approve a change
in the bylaws to support that request.

I recommend constituencies proceed on the basis of electing one member
of the Council under the current bylaws, and also elect a reserve to be
available to take up the additional seat should the Board approve.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
