In line with the ASO Memorandum of Understanding and ICANN Bylaws, the Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC) calls for nominations for Seat Number 10 on the ICANN Board.
The nomination period will close at 23:59 UTC on 10 January 2010.
All candidates must sign a Letter of Certification detailing previous conduct and character. We will send this letter to each applicant along with instructions on what to do next. We are unable to consider candidates who fail to follow these instructions.
Article VI of the ICANN Bylaws states that: “At any given time, no two Directors selected by a Supporting Organization shall be citizens from the same country or of countries located in the same Geographic Region.” The ASO AC selection for Seat 9 of the ICANN Board of Directors resides in the ARIN region, so nominees for Seat 10 cannot reside in the ARIN region.
If the ASO AC decides to conduct face-to-face interviews, candidates may need to travel (once) during March 2010.
We expect all candidates to complete one or more questionnaires. Failure to do this by the advised deadlines may rule them out of the selection process.
