4. Election of ICANN Board Members
• Javier Sola

Motion to the NC http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/19990915.NCmotion-voteICANNBoard.html for the procedure concerning elections of 3 delegates from the DNSO to the ICANN Board

• Denis Jennings

Motion about geographic diversity of the Names Council:

"The Names Council agree that no two of the three ICANN Board Directors elected by the DNSO may be residents (citizens ?) of the same geographic region."

Supported by Amadeu Abril i Abril with the following comment:

I support that. And I am afraid tht the ·citizenship" requiremnt when regarding Board Directors is very unlikely to be softened in any occasion....

5. Election of Permanent Names Council Members
• Amadeu Abril i Abril:

All constituencies are requested to explain whether they were holding new elections on the scheduled timer or not, and whether they were considering to ask for a "geographic diversity waiver".

Registrars Constituency is holding new elections (as it was the original compromise before the Board request) and is considering, even if not yet decided to ask for a partial waiver, in the form of requesting that residency, not citizenship be taken into account for this NC elections.
