f. anticipation of incompatibility between NC and ICANN Board

Decisions and actions:
* Decision 1:
The 3 ICANN Board directors from the DNSO shall be elected no
later than October 15th, 1999. The call for nominations shall be
published on the dnso.org website and sent to the General Assembly
no later than September 17. The nomination process will open on

vote will last for one week, starting October 9th and ending
October 16th. The exact hour will be given by the DNSO
Secretariat.
* Decision 2:
Javier Sola and the DNSO Secretariat (Elisabeth Porteneuve) will
prepare the call for nominations. Each candidate shall answer a
set of questions, and be supported by at least 10 persons from the
General Assembly.
* Decision 3:
The DNSO secretariat is in charge of elections, and will announce
the results.
* Decision 4:
The General Assembly of the DNSO includes:
1. members of all 7 DNSO Constituencies
2. members of both General Assembly (ga@dnso.org) and Announce
(announce@dnso.org) mailing lists
Members of WG's lists who are neither members of any Constituency
nor subscribers to any of the above mailing lists shall subscibe
to any of them, if they wish to participate in elections.
As the Announce and General Assembly list are open, anybody wishing
to participate in the election process may subscribe to one of
these lists and be considered a member of the General Assembly.
* Decision 5:
The DNSO secretariat will set up adequate mailing lists for the
voting. Votes will remain secret during voting time, but
afterwards all records will be made public.
* Decision 6:
The choice of the mathematical algorithm to be used remain pending
until the next NC telecon, September 23rd. All proposed algorithms
will be published on the website. The algorithm proposed by Javier
will be accepted if no other proposal is approved by the Names
Council by September 23rd.
The Berkman Center is requested to provide advice.
* Decision 7:
The geographic diversity of elected directors shall be based on
the ICANN Bylaws, i.e. the criteria of citizenship.
* Decision 8:
It is anticipated that the geographic diversity of the ICANN Board
as a whole shall start with the geographic diversity of members
elected by its SOs.
* Decision 9:
It is anticipated that there is an incompatibility between NC and
ICANN Board positions if held by the same person. The candidates
for ICANN Board elections being members of the DNSO NC shall state
if they will resign if elected to the ICANN Board.
