ICANN/DNSO
DNSO election of a Chair and an Alternate Chair to the General Assembly, Mar-Apr 2001 |
16 March 2001
The ICANN Bylaws http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm, Article VI-B, Section 2 (i) states that the Names Council shall elect the Chairman of the GA annually.
On 26th of February http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20010226.NCtelecon-minutes.html (not yet published, will be available shortly), the Names Council has decided to invite the GA to manage an election process to select a nominee for appointment by the NC to the position of Chair of the GA.
The NC decided to proceed the election as last year, without changing the Bylaws, and requested the Secretariat to determine dates and move process forward.
The Secretariat determined with Roberto Gaetano and Harald Alvestrand, the DNSO GA Chairs, and Philip Sheppard, NC Chair, that the 2001 election will take place between 2nd March and 10 April 2001, with the following agenda:
All nominations, acceptances and endorsements will be provided in the sections below.
A nomination watchdog committee has been formed to police the nomination process to help detect and cure any instances of fraudulent activity in connection with the nomination process.
Any instances of fraudulent nominations or endorsements should be reported to this committee at the following email address: ga-watchdog@dnso.org, with a copy to the Names Council at council@dnso.org, This committee and the Names Council shall have the sole discretion as to how to deal with any such reported activity.
