NOMINATION PERIOD OPEN - ICANN gNSO Council Representative

The ISPCP Constituency held an open call for nominations for gNSO 
representative in December of 2008.  No nominations were made for the 
two openings.  In accordance with our by-laws, we are re-starting the
nomination period and welcoming new nominations for the two open seats
for gNSO representatives.

In accordance with both the ICANN bylaws and the ISPCP bylaws this is
the official call for nominations for an ISPCP representative to ICANN's
gNSO Council.

With the adoption of the most recent 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 this 
position.

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

Every member of the ISPCP may nominate two candidates for the positions 
of ISPCP representative to the ICANN gNSO Council.

This mail requests that you nominate an eligible ISPCP member to be 
elected to the gNSO Council.

election manager:

->: the name of the nominee
->: the electronic mail address of the nominee

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