RE: [council] Time table for ICANN Board election this year


Peter, can we check to see if travel schedules can accommodate that? I am
not sure that they do... but find your suggestion of interest.

I would suggest that the nominations be conducted PRIOR to the
Montevideo meeting, with the actual vote to be conducted AFTER
Montevideo.

This would allow for face-to-face presentation of candidate agendas and
positions, and an opportunity to campaign.

I agree. Let's move it up even further to last of 
August.

>>> Elisabeth Porteneuve <Elisabeth.Porteneuve@cetp.ipsl.fr> 07/12/01 
>>> 13:39 PM >>>

I would not recommend to vote in September 4th-6th, because several of
us will be on the way to Montevideo, or already sitting on meetings in
Montevideo (some starts on 5th morning). To be safe I would avoid any
date in September prior to Montevideo.

Would it be better ?
