[council] Proposed teleconference to interview the candidates for ICANN Board seat #14

["Bruce Tonkin" <Bruce.Tonkin@melbourneit.com.au>]

Hello All,

Given that we have 4 candidates for seat #14 of the ICANN Board, I propose we hold a teleconference to interview each of the candidates and consider them against the selection criteria for an ICANN Board director.

I propose we allocate 1.5 hours, and allow 20 minutes per candidate.

I propose we hold a teleconference for:
Tuesday 11 March at 20:00 UTC
- 3pm Washington, DC
- 9pm Brussels
- 7am (Wednesday) Melbourne, Australia

Each candidate would be able to make a short statement (5 minutes) that addresses the selection criteria and also provide a vision for the future of ICANN, followed by 15 minutes of questions and answers.

If we do this, I would expect that an audio recording of the call be made and released to the community via the GNSO website.  You might like to consider whether this should be made immediately available, or released after the election is complete.  Personally I recommend that the recording be made immediately available.

Council members please let me know if you think this would be useful, and candidates please let me know if the time stated above would suit you.    I apologize for the short notice.


Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
