CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - GNSO COUNCIL

In accordance with both the ICANN bylaws and the ISPCP bylaws,
this is the official call for nominations to two open seats for
the GNSO Council.

According to the ISPCP Articles adopted at the Santiago meeting
of the ISP and Connectivity Providers constituency (and later
amended between the Melbourne and Stockholm ICANN meetings)
an election of representatives to the Names Council is to take
place when representative's terms expire or when vacancies for
the representative positions exist.

With the adoption of the 2004 version of the ICANN By-laws,
the ISPCP is required to elect two members to the GNSO Council. 
These members will be taking the seats currently held by Tony
Harris and Greg Ruth.

We are looking for two people from the constituency to fill
these positions.

The ISPCP Articles call for a nomination period of two weeks.

As has been the policy of the constituency since the Stockholm
ICANN meeting we ask the people currently holding the position
of representative to the gNSO Names Council to continue in that
role during the election process.  Accordingly, the ISPCP
Secretariat has asked Tony and Greg to continue in this role
until the completion of the election.

Every member of the ISPCP may nominate one candidate for the
available position.

This mail requests that you nominate eligible ISPCP members to
be elected to the GNSO Names Council.

To make a nomination please mail the following information to the
election manager:

--> the name of the nominee
--> the electronic mail address of the nominee
--> the ISPCP member organization to which the nominee belongs
--> if possible, a voice phone number for the nominee

During the nomination period, potential nominees will be asked
to indicate their willingness to serve as a representative to
the gNSO Names Council.

The nomination period
opens on Sunday, 5 November 2006 at 2200 GMT
closes on Sunday, 19 November 2006 at 2200 GMT

Nominations should be sent to the ISPCP Secretariat at:
