Call for Nominations
Asia-Pacific Representative to the ASO Address Council
-------------------------------------------------------


This is a call for nominations of individuals from the Asia Pacific
region,
to serve on the ASO Address Council. During October 2002, one Asia
Pacific
Address Council seat will become vacant, and will be filled for the next
three years by an individual nominated through this open call. The
selection
process will involve an open election to be held during the APNIC Open
Policy Meeting, in Kitakyushu, Japan, on 5 September 2002.


This document describes the functions of the ASO and the Address
Council, as
well as the nomination and selection processes. If you are interested in
nominating an individual, or if you are interested in being nominated as
a
member of the Address Council, please read this document carefully.


1. The Address Supporting Organisation
--------------------------------------

The ASO was formed in August 1999 as a consensus-based advisory body
within
the ICANN Framework, though a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed
by
the current Regional Internet Registries and ICANN.

The ICANN Bylaws (http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VI-A) assign
to
the ASO the responsibility for the development of global policies
relating
to the distribution and registration of Internet address space,
inter-domain
routing identifiers and that part of the DNS name space that is used to
name
these addresses and identifiers.

More information about the ASO is available at:

    http://www.aso.icann.org


2. The Address Council
----------------------

The ASO Address Council co-ordinates the process of policy development
in
areas within the responsibility of the ASO, according to procedures
defined
within the MoU and by the AC itself. Specifically, these include the
hosting
of an annual open General Assembly meeting, and attending regular
meetings
by teleconference or in person at which policy issues and submissions
may be
considered.

The other major responsibility of the Address Council is the appointment
of
individuals to fill ASO seats on the ICANN Board of Directors, according
to
procedures defined within the MoU.

More information on the Address Council is available at:

    http://www.aso.icann.org/ac


3. The Role of Members of the Address Council
---------------------------------------------

Members of the Address Council do not represent any RIR, nor do they act
as
representatives of any other body. They are appointed in their
individual
capacity, and their membership cannot be proxied by any other individual
or
organisation.

No member of the Address Council is entitled to any compensation from
the
ASO. No member can be indemnified by the ASO, nor can the ASO obtain
insurance coverage relating to the liability of the actions of members
of
the Address Council.


4. Address Council Nominations Process
--------------------------------------

Through this nomination process, one individual from the Asia Pacific
Region will be selected to serve on the Address Council for three years,
replacing Takashi Arano who has served as an AC member since October
1999.
The selection will be made though an open election from the set of
individuals who have been nominated within this process.


Any individual may be nominated, with the exception of any staff member
of
any Regional Internet Registry. Self-nominations are permitted.

Nominations must be received by midnight GMT on 21 August 2002. You may
nominate an individual by using the online nomination form at:
