To the GNSO Council:

The ICANN Nominating Committee has announced its selections to the ICANN
Board, the GNSO Council, and the At-Large Advisory Committee.

I have issued a Secretary's Notice describing the effect of this
announcement on the membership of these three bodies.
<http://www.icann.org/minutes/secretarys-notice-16jun03.htm>  With
regard to the GNSO Council, the notice states:

B. GNSO Council

The Nominating Committee appointments to the GNSO Council are as follows:

  * Amadeu Abril i Abril (term ends at conclusion of 2004 annual
    meeting)
  * Demi Getschko (term ends at conclusion of 2005 annual meeting)
  * Alick Wilson (term ends at conclusion of 2005 annual meeting)

These appointments are effective immediately, except that under Article
VI, Section 4(2) of the bylaws Amadeu Abril i Abril may not take his
seat on the GNSO Council until his service as a member of the ICANN
Board ends in Montréal.

The eighteen current members of the GNSO Council selected by the GNSO
constituencies will serve for the remainder of their terms for which
they were selected, except that the terms of all of those GNSO Council
members shall end at the conclusion of the ICANN annual meeting in 2003.
They will be replaced by two representatives selected by each
constituency. The GNSO Council also has non-voting liaisons from the
Governmental Advisory Committee and the At-Large Advisory Committee.
