[ga] DNSO board elections


It has been suggested I clarify the procedure for the forthcoming DNSO board election. The reference is by-lawsVI-B 2 e and precedent.
 
Nominations
The nomination process for candidates is naturally via the GA as the all-embracing body of the DNSO. Interested parties have simply to join the GA to nominate.
 
Support
In order to ensure candidates have some hope of success an endorsement list of 10 names is required for the candidate to go forward to the NC for the election itself.  Those candidates will be screened for diversity criteria and a final candidates list produced.
 
Diversity
Diversity under the by-laws means that "no two directors serving on the Board selected by the NC shall be citizens of the same country or of countries located in the same Geographic Region."  DNSO board directors remaining are Alejandro Pisanty (Mexico) and Jonathan Cohen (Canada). This means the current election must select a candidate from Europe, Asia/Australia/Pacific or Africa.
 
Timetable
The DNSO secretariat will post details of the timetable in due course.
