[registrars] GNSO Seat on the ICANN Board

["Nevett, Jonathon" <jnevett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As you probably know, the GNSO has two representatives on the ICANN
Board.  Last year, the GNSO elected Rita Rodin to serve as one of its
Board members.  The second GNSO seat needs to be filled by May 8, 2007.
The GNSO Secretariat has published the schedule below for the election.
As we did we Rita's seat, we will set up a schedule for interviews and
provide input to our councilors who will be the ones actually voting.
So far, there has been only one nomination - Dr. Bruce Tonkin.  If Bruce
is elected, we will need to fill the seat he currently holds as a
Registrar Constituency Rep to the GNSO.  The seat would have to be held
by someone outside of Europe and North America.  Thanks.  Jon
