Call for Nominations for ICANN Board of Directors
_________________________________________________
Dear Colleague,
ICANN has called for nominations to fill vacant Address Supporting
Organisation (ASO) seats on the ICANN Board of Directors. The geographic
diversity rules require that the first scheduled vacancy must be filled with
a nominee from Europe, Africa or Latin America. However, nominations from
the Asia Pacific region are also encouraged as these will be included on the
list used to fill any other vacancies that might arise.
Nominations must be received by the ASO Secretariat before 0900 UTC, 6
February 2002, 30 days prior to the General Assembly meeting being held on 5
March 2002 with the APNIC Open Policy Meeting in Bangkok, Thailand. Details
of the nominations process are available at:
http://www.aso.icann.org/board/2002elections/.
Best regards,

Nominations for ICANN Board of Directors
The Address Council of the Address Supporting Organisation is pleased to
announce the 3rd ASO General Assembly meeting, to be held on Tuesday, 5
March 2002 in Bangkok, Thailand. This meeting will be hosted by APNIC
alongside APNIC's Open Policy Meeting, and will be open to all parties
with an interest in ASO policy matters. A detailed meeting agenda will
be published in due course on the ASO web site, at
<http://www.aso.icann.org>.
In compliance with the ASO MoU
<http://www.aso.icann.org/docs/aso-mou.html>, the Address Council and
ICANN hereby call for nominations to the ICANN Board to fill vacant ASO
seats on the ICANN Board. The first such seat scheduled to become
vacant on 1 October 2002 is currently occupied by Mr. Rob Blokzijl.
However, candidates nominated at this time may also be chosen to fill
other seats that may become vacant before or after this time. Note that
appointments to the ICANN board must satisfy the geographic diversity
constraints specified in section 3c. of the ASO MoU.
Any individual may be nominated within this process, with the exception
of any official of a national government or a multinational entity
established by treaty or other agreement between national governments
(ICANN Bylaws Art. V., Sec 5). Self-nominations are permitted.
Nominations should be sent by email to <secretariat at aso dot icann dot org> and

Nominations must be submitted in English and must be received by the ASO
Secretariat before 0900 UTC, 6 February 2002 (30 days prior to the
General Assembly meeting). All nominees will be contacted via email to
confirm their willingness to serve as an ICANN Director. If the nominee
is not contactable via email then the nomination will not be confirmed,
a nominee must explicitly confirm the nomination to the ASO Secretariat
to be considered as a candidate.
All confirmed nominations will be listed on the ASO website (see

posted on the ASO website <http://www.aso.icann.org> in due course.
