Registrars:

 

Nominations are now open for the election of two GNSO representatives.

 

We have two GNSO Council seats available - one currently held by Ross
Rader, who after many fine years of service is term limited from seeking
another two year term, and the other currently held by Adrian Kinderis
who was elected in May to replace Bruce Tonkin. The elected
representatives will take office at the end of the ICANN meeting in Los
Angeles and serve for two years until the end of the ICANN Annual
Meeting in 2009.  As Tom Keller from Germany remains our third GNSO
representative, nominees to these positions must be citizens of a
non-European country as defined by ICANN
(http://www.icann.org/montreal/geo-regions-topic.htm).  Voting RC
members will each have two votes to place.  The two winners will be the
top two vote getters from different ICANN regions.  For example, if
Candidate 1 from Asia receives 20 votes; Candidate 2 from Asia receives
18 votes; and Candidate 3 from Africa receives 16 votes, Candidates 1
and 3 would be elected.

 

The nomination period will be open from today until 11:59 pm/23:59 PDT
on Friday, August 3.  

 

All nominations must be seconded by at least one member in order to
proceed. To be on the ballot, candidates must accept the nomination and
provide a conflict of interest statement (including a statement of
country of citizenship) by the end of the close of the nomination period
(or within two days after the actual nomination).  Anyone affiliated
with a Registrar Constituency Member is eligible to make nominations,
second nominations, or hold any office.  

 

Please send all nominations and seconds to the list at
registrars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

 

The voting period will be from August 13 to August 23.  Voting will take
place by e-mail ballot sent out individually to each Voting Member's
e-mail address.  Ballots should be filled out and returned to the e-mail
address stated in the ballot. They should not be copied to any e-mail
list.  

 

The results will be announced on this list.

 

Thanks.

 

Jon
