Subject: [council] Marilyn Cade: announcement of interest in standing
for election to the ICANN board



Dear colleagues,

 

I wanted to announce my resignation from the Nominating Committee as a
representative from the BC,  and advise fellow councilors of my interest
in standing for election to the vacant Board seat now open for
nomination.  

 

 In order to stand for election, I have advised the Nominating Committee
that I am resigning [from the Nominating Committee]and have asked to be
removed from the Nominating Committee list and activities.  

 

In order to be fully transparent, I advise the Council that I am
disputing an interpretation by the General Counsel regarding my
eligibility to stand for election due to the Nominating Committee
service. I have filed an ombudsman's appeal and am preparing a
Reconsideration Request. In my view, I am fully qualified, now that I
have resigned from the Nominating committee to be a candidate for
election. The General Counsel has disagreed with my eligibility status,
thus my appeals through the ombudsman, and possibly Reconsideration. 

 

I don't mean to clog the Council list with this topic, since that would
be inappropriate, but please do let me know of any questions you may
have. If nominated and seconded, then I'll have a chance to campaign,
like any other candidate. At this point, the purpose of this posting is
informational. 

 

Best regards,

 

Marilyn Cade
