>CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR ICANN BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br>
>-------------------------------------------------<br>
><br>
>This is an open call for nominations of interested individuals to
serve on the <br>
>Board of Directors of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
<br>
>Numbers (ICANN), as a nominee of the ICANN Address Supporting
Organization<br>
>(ASO).<br>
><br>
>ICANN is the non-profit corporation that was formed to take over
<br>
>responsibility for the IP address space allocation, protocol
parameter<br>
>assignment, domain name system management, and root server
system<br>
>management functions <br>
>previously performed under U.S. Government contract by IANA and other
<br>
>entities. The Board will be composed of nineteen Directors, including
nine <br>
>At-Large Directors, nine to be nominated by Supporting Organizations,
and <br>
>the President/CEO (ex officio). Further details on the composition
and <br>
>responsibilities of ICANN can be found at
<a href="http://www.icann.org/" eudora="autourl">http://www.icann.org</a>.
Prospective <br>
>nominees are strongly urged to read the ICANN Corporate Documents and
<br>
>other ICANN published material, as well as the adopted ASO proposal,
<br>
>located at
<a href="http://www.arin.net/asoproposal.htm" eudora="autourl">http://www.arin.net/asoproposal.htm</a>.<br>
><br>
>The ASO will have the responsibility for nominating three ICANN
Directors. <br>
>This responsibility will, in the normal course of events, be
conducted through <br>
>an open process managed by the Address Council, a body created by the
<br>
>ASO to manage its business.<br>
><br>
>For the initial ASO nominations to the ICANN Board, the ASO Address
Council <br>
>will nominate three Directors to serve terms of 1, 2, and 3 years.
This <br>
>process has been initiated by the Regional Internet Registries
(RIRs)<br>
>through this <br>
>open call for nominations. The process of selecting the initial
ICANN<br>
>Directors <br>
>from the ASO nominations will be defined and managed by the Address
Council.<br>
><br>
><br>
>ASO Process for Nominating ICANN Directors<br>
>------------------------------------------<br>
><br>
>Any individual may be nominated within this process, with the
exception of <br>
>any official of a national government or a multinational entity
established <br>
>by treaty or other agreement between national governments (ICANN
ByLaws <br>
>Art. V., Sec 5.). Self-nominations are permitted.<br>
><br>
>However, no member of staff of an RIR is eligible to be appointed to
the ICANN <br>
>Board, and no ASO-appointed Director may serve simultaneously on
the<br>
>Address Council. The Directors appointed by the ASO will not
represent the<br>
>ASO on the Board, but will function as full Directors of ICANN.<br>
