Submit statements of interest/recommendations for
ICANN le
- submission deadline is 15 June 2005
-
Hi all,
I sent this to the list a while ago, but I
don't think I received it so I'm worried you didn't either.
Here's the call from the Nominating Committee for Submissions of
Interest for various key positions in ICANN.
The deadline is fast approaching and we've
had very little response so far. We need more submissions of
candidates in order to have a good pool to choose from. We
especially need a substantial amount of good candidates who represent
the public interest. This is where you can help!!
You can do three things from here.
You can a) consider applying, b) make recommendations of suitable
candidates who might not take the initiative to submit themselves, but
who you think would actually be interested and go a great job, and c)
send this around to others who might submit candidates.
Additional details, including the URL of
the complete details and the application form, are contained below,
but let me know if you have any questions. Submit soon -
deadline JUNE 15.
Best,
Frannie

The ICANN Nominating Committee invites
Recommendations and Statements of Interest from the community as it
seeks qualified candidates for the following positions:
- two
members of the ICANN Board of Directors;
- two
members of the Council of the Generic Names Supporting
Organization (GNSO);
- one member
of the Council of the Country-Code Names
Supporting Organization (ccNSO); and
- three
members of the At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC).
Those individuals selected by the Nominating Committee will have a
unique opportunity to work with accomplished colleagues from around
the globe, address intriguing technical coordination problems and
related policy development challenges with diverse functional,
cultural, and geographic dimensions, and gain valuable insights and
experience from working across these boundaries of knowledge,
responsibility and perspective.
Additionally, those selected will gain the satisfaction of making a
valuable public service contribution. Placing the broad public
interest ahead of any particular interests, they will help ensure the
stability and security of the Internet for critically important
societal functions.
These voluntary positions are not remunerated, although direct
expenses incurred in the course of duty may be reimbursed. These
positions may involve significant international travel, including
personal presence at periodic ICANN meetings, as well as regular
telephone and Internet communications.
Candidates should be women and men with a high level of qualifications
and experience with an international outlook including some
familiarity with the Internet. They should be prepared to contribute
to the collective decision-making process among ICANN's
constituencies, supporting organizations and advisory
bodies.
Selection criteria, eligibility factors, roles of each position,
application procedure, and contacts are posted at:
http://www.icann.org/committees/nom-comm/formalcall-22apr05.htm
Applications will be handled
confidentially and should be received by 12:00 GMT on 15 June
2005 for full consideration. Selections will be made in October
with service beginning in December 2005.
