[NCUC-DISCUSS] Non Contracted Parties House Election Procedures 2011

[William Drake]

Hi

Among the many things we need to do is decide who we would like to represent the non contracted house party on the ICANN board.  The current occupant is Bill Graham, who was elected by the business folks with NomCom participant support (we’d proposed Avri).  I expect Bill will stand for reelection.

Bill

> With apologies as I suspect I may not be taking everything into account, am I correct in thinking that the Call for Nominations (under the GNSO Operating Procedures) opens in May because Bill’s term ends in October?  And, if so, we need to have the House procedures finalized by the end of April (which means we have some time)?
