Submit statements of interest/recommendations for ICANN leadership positions

[Frannie Wellings]

  - 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.
