Applicants Sought from Internet User Community for Seat on Board of Directors

[Adam Peake]

Dear Alex,

I hope you and anyone with a strong background 
and interest in user issues and ICANN will 
consider applying.  Support is not needed at this 
stage, but you might consider outreach to the 
RALO for your region 
<http://www.atlarge.icann.org/regions>

New press release on the At-Large Board Seat Call 
for Statements of Interest available in the usual 
six languages, see links from 
<http://atlarge-lists.icann.org/pipermail/alac/2010/001392.html> 
Note, the deadline is September 6.

Hope you and other NCUC/NCSG members will consider applying.

Adam
