RE: [registrars] Election of RC Reps to the GNSO Council

["Elana Broitman" <ebroitman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you - that's where I looked, but somehow missed the obvious reference.  The 3 nominees to date - Ross, Bruce, and Tom - represent different regions, however.

Elana:

Please refer to Article X, Section 3, sub-paragraph 1,
(http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm) which states in relevant part:

No two representatives selected by a Constituency shall be citizens of the
same country or of countries located in the same Geographic Region.

Best regards,

Mike
