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