Board Seat #13 Election Resolution
Motion made by Chuck Gomes and seconded by Stephane van Gelder

Whereas, the ICANN Bylaws specify that the GNSO has the right to select two 
individuals to serve on the ICANN Board, commonly referred to as Board Seats 13 
and 14;

Whereas, under the Bylaws, the Contracted Parties House of the GNSO Council 
selects the individual to fill Board Seat 13, and the Non-Contracted Parties 
House selects the individual to fill Board Seat 14;

Whereas, on 28 January 2010, the GNSO Council approved the process proposed by 
the Contracted Party House to select a representative to fill Board Seat 13 for 
the 2010 election, and amended its Operating Procedures to include that process 
(see - http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-council-28jan10-en.htm);

Whereas the Contracted Parties House of the GNSO Council has utilized that 
process to select Bruce Tonkin to serve as the Board member for Seat 13;

RESOLVED, The GNSO Council acknowledges the selection of Bruce Tonkin by the 
Contracted Parties House to fill ICANN Board Seat 13 and directs the GNSO 
Secretariat to make the necessary notifications to the Board and the community.


Thank you.
Kind regards,

Glen
