[registrars] Fw: [ga] DNSO board elections
Elections are due to be held shortly by the
DNSO for ICANN Board members. Amadeau's tenure is expiring and he must be
either replaced or re-elected. The email below provides an outline of the
nomination process. Please note that while the GA is responsible for the
nominations, the NC votes in the DNSO members.
Registrars need to consider whether to put up a
candidate - and if so, who. Time is now running short. It would
be useful if :
*people interested in standing could indicate their
interest; and
* the Registrar constituency could put forward a
candidate.

Subject: [ga] DNSO board elections It has been suggested I clarify the procedure for the
forthcoming DNSO board election. The reference is by-lawsVI-B 2 e and
precedent.
Nominations
The nomination process for candidates is naturally via the GA
as the all-embracing body of the DNSO. Interested parties have simply to join
the GA to nominate.
Support
In order to ensure candidates have some hope of success an
endorsement list of 10 names is required for the candidate to go forward to the
NC for the election itself. Those candidates will be screened for
diversity criteria and a final candidates list produced.
Diversity
Diversity under the by-laws means that "no two directors
serving on the Board selected by the NC shall be citizens of the same country or
of countries located in the same Geographic Region." DNSO
board directors remaining are Alejandro Pisanty (Mexico) and Jonathan Cohen
(Canada). This means the current election must select a candidate from Europe,
Asia/Australia/Pacific or Africa.
Timetable
The DNSO secretariat will post details of the timetable in due
course.
