Re: [council] Election of Permanent NC Members

[Richard Lindsay <richard@interq.ad.jp>]

Hi YJ,

The Registrar constituency will be holding elections with sufficient
time to allow the newly elected NC members to participate in the
voting for the ICANN board members.  I believe we will be asking that
the ICANN board allow us to use residency instead of citizenship
for geographical diversity.  We have not set a date yet, as I think
we want to get some word from the ICANN board whether a waiver
would be feasible or not.  Perhaps Ken and Amadeu could confirm
this for me?

Although the other constituencies can share their viewpoints, I
don't think the pNC as a whole can give any guidance or set requirements

for each constituency (other than that already given by the ICANN
board.)  Although I agree we have to get the election schedule set
so we can have new NC members in place before actual elections :-)

Regards,
Richard
