RE: [council] Notice of Selection of Bruce Tonkin by GNSO Contracted Parties House for Board Seat 13

[Bruce Tonkin <Bruce.Tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jonathan,


>>  Please accept this as formal notice that the Contracted Parties House has 
>> re-selected Bruce Tonkin for Seat 13 on the ICANN Board when his current 
>> term expires.

>>  This notice is also intended to serve as the requisite official notice to 
>> the ICANN Secretary and General Council.

I note that the ICANN Board Secretary has now posted a Secretary's Notice at :

http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/meetings

"1 May 2013    Notice of Selection of Bruce Tonkin by GNSO Contracted Parties 
House for Board Seat 13" 

I would like to thank the Contracted Parties House for their support for me to 
serve another term on the ICANN Board.

I would also like to extend again the invitation to any of the individual 
Constituencies or Stakeholder Groups in the Non-contracted Party House, as well 
as those in the Contracted Parties House, that I am happy to attend 
teleconferences or face-to-face meetings from time to time to hear their views, 
and also happy to provide updates on current Board activities.

While I am elected by the Contracted Parties House - my duty as an ICANN Board 
Director is  to act in what I reasonably believe are the best interests of 
ICANN and not as representatives of the entity that selected me, my employer, 
or any other organization or constituency.  

 I always find it valuable to hear from the various groups of ICANN directly.

With respect to face-to-face meetings, feel free to contact me in the lead up 
to a public ICANN meeting, and I will do my best to accommodate a meeting if 
any group in the GNSO so desires.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
