Thanks for raising this issue, Philip. We at NCUC had been
assuming that two of the Council reps would be for one-year terms
and only one for two-year terms. This assumption was based on
the idea that the re-expansion of constituency representation
to three was provisional. Which it may or may not be. If it is,
two one-years and a two-year seems better. Hope this gets cleared
up >really< quickly.

Council,
The ICANN by-laws section 3 introduces the concept of staggered terms of office
for Council reps. Terms are two-year but there is rotation every year.
The transition article of the by-laws achieves this staggering in year one
(2003) uniquely with one rep being elected for just one year. Thereafter all
elections are held for two-year terms.
Further to the decision by the Board, there are currently three representatives
per constituency. It is consistent with the concept of two-year terms, that
there is initially one representative elected in 2003 for the one-time only
one-year term, while the remaining two representatives are elected as usual for
two-year terms.
It is the intention of the Business Constituency to nominate representatives
accordingly. We welcome comment from other constituencies on this approach.
