RE: [registrars] GNSO Seat on the ICANN Board
Hello Jeff,
It is citizen.
>From the ICANN bylaws:
"At any given time, no two Directors selected by a Supporting
Organization shall be citizens of the same country or of countries
located in the same Geographic Region."
There have been some discussions about whether true geographic
representation is achieved with this requirement, when citizens of some
countries in the Southern Hemisphere may have spent the majority of
their life in North America or Europe.
Regards,
Bruce Tonkin

Jon,
Just so we are all clear, can you explain what qualifies as "by
someone outside of Europe and North America"
Does that mean citizenship or candidates' residence or location
of Registrar principal office.
Thanks
Jeff

Subject: [registrars] GNSO Seat on the ICANN Board
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
