From memsvcs at arin.net Sun Mar 4 11:40:25 2001 From: memsvcs at arin.net (Member Services) Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2001 11:40:25 -0500 (EST) Subject: ARIN Board Action RE: ICANN BOD Nominations Message-ID: In a message to the ARIN membership dated February 6, 2001, the ARIN Board of Trustees made the following statement in regard to identifying candidates for the ICANN Board of Directors: "To date there has been only one nominee from the ARIN region. It is important we have a slate of candidates from the ARIN region for this important position. In order to add at least one other ARIN region candidate to the list of candidates the ARIN Board of Trustees intends to nominate one or more individuals as the ARIN RIR candidate(s). This is provided for in the ASO MOU paragraph (3)(b): "(3) ICANN Directors. (b) ... each RIR signatory to the MOU is entitled to nominate candidates by procedures of its own choosing."" Since that time there have been several candidates that have been nominated outside of the process outlined in the message dated February 6, 2001. These candidates are listed at the following URL: http://www.aso.icann.org/board/comf_board_members.html The ARIN Board of Trustees followed the process as outlined in the February 6 message. A list of candidates was identified by the NOMCOM and presented to the Board of Trustees for consideration. In its deliberation, the Board of Trustees noted the addition of candidates to the list since the February 6 message, and determined that there were several candidates on the list who would provide excellent representation of the Addressing Community in General and the ARIN region in particular. Therefore, the ARIN Board of Trustees has decided not to exercise the RIR entitlement as stated in the MOU to nominate a candidate for the ICANN Board of Directors. The ARIN Board of Trustees strongly encourages all interested parties to examine the list of candidates and either nominate(by 0900 GMT March 5) other individuals to the list or provide a statement of support for the candidates that have been identified.
