Dear Councillors,
The time is approaching for the GNSO Council elections for ICANN Board
seat # 14 which is currently held by Rita Rodin.
The current term for seat # 14 expires six months after the conclusion
of ICANN's annual meeting in 2007, which would be 2 May 2008.
Pursuant to ICANN Bylaws (http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm)
Article VI, section 8.4, the GNSO should give notice of its selection no
later than five months after the Annual General Meeting in 2007, which
would be 2 April 2008.
ICANN Bylaws
(http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm)
Article VI, section 2.3, requires that
"no two Directors selected by a Supporting Organization shall be
citizens of the same country or of countries located in the same
Geographic Region."
Since Bruce Tonkin is a citizen of the Asia/Pacific region, the GNSO may
not select another Director from that region. The GNSO is free to
select a citizen of any of the four other regions, since each region
will continue to have at least one Director per region and no region
could have more than five as a result of the GNSO's pending selection.
The previous election procedures will be used and posted in detail to
the Council list.

2nd round 7 March - 14 March 2008
3rd round 14 March - 21 March 2008

Thank you.
Kind regards,
Glen
