DNSO and GNSO Archives: [council]

Dear Bruce,

Would you please arrange for this message to be sent to the GNSO Council members and to the

constituencies of GNSO?

We, the ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom), have just posted our Formal Call for Recommendations

and Statements of Interest for the ICANN positions NomCom will select. Please see

http://www.icann.org/committees/nom-comm/formal-call-05apr03.htm This information has also been

distributed via the ICANN Announce list

We would like to send a special invitation to the members of the GNSO Council and constituencies

to submit as individuals their recommendations and statements of interest for the positions

NomCom will fill. The success of this new Nominating Committee process depends

on the active participation of members of the Internet community, and we are eager to encourage their

attention to this opportunity.

Our timeline is short because our goal is to be able to seat the New Board and NomCom-selected members

of the GNSO Council and Interim ALAC at the conclusion of the Montreal ICANN meeting June 22-26, 2003.

We believe you will find in the posted Formal Call the information needed about NomCom, about the positions

to be filled, the eligibility and criteria that apply, the review process, and how to respond to this invitation.

But we do understand that questions will arise, and we would value direct interaction with the GNSO

Council and the constituencies in our recruiting.

NomCom is therefore offering to participate in teleconferences organized by groups such as the GNSO Council,

to help launch the Nominating Process. If you would like some of the NomCom members to participate in one

of your teleconferences, please contact me via email.

NomCom will be posting Frequently Asked Questions with their answers on the NomCom web page http://www.icann.org/committees/nom-comm/ and invites comments via email

to nomcom.comments@icann.org

We encourage all those interested in this new Nominating Committee process to visit our webpage and to

subscribe to nomcom.announce-request@icann.org to receive notice of news from the Committee.

Let me also express my thanks for the excellent participation the GNSO delegates are providing in the

work of the Nominating Committee: Don Heath, Grant Forsyth, Mike Roberts, Mark Bohannon, Marc

Schneiders, Henning Grote, Antonio Tavares

We look forward to hearing from you and your colleagues in the GNSO.

Linda Wilson, Chair of the ICANN Nominating Committee
