The elected representative must be willing to serve a three (3) year term beginning January 1, 2002. If you are interested in nominating an individual or if you are interested in being nominated as a member of the Address Council, please carefully read the document below which describes the functions of the ASO, the Address Council and the role of the council members. Please visit http://www.arin.net/aso/asonomform.htm to submit your nominations. Nominations will be accepted until 23:59 EDT August 31, 2001. Regards, Susan Hamlin Director, Member Services 1. The Address Supporting Organization -------------------------------------- The ASO was created through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was executed on October 18, 1999 between the current Regional Internet Registries and ICANN. The ASO is a consensus-based advisory body established within the ICANN Framework. The ICANN bylaws assign to the ASO the responsibility for the development of global policies relating to the distribution and registration of Internet address space, interdomain routing identifiers, and the part of the DNS name space that is used to name these addresses and identifiers. Normally, proposals for global policies within the area of ASO responsibility will be developed within context of the RIRs' policy development forums, and then forwarded to ICANN through the ASO. Submissions by interested parties and other ICANN bodies will also be considered by this organization. The ASO is responsible for the appointment of three (3) Directors to ICANN, in accordance with ICANN's bylaws. The ASO conducts its business in an open and transparent fashion. 2. The Address Council ---------------------- The Address Council is responsible for managing the business functions of the ASO. Each RIR selects three (3) individuals to serve as members of the Address Council. Using the MoU-defined procedures as a guideline, Address Council members manage the policy development process in the areas where the ASO is responsible. Specifically, this includes the periodic hosting of an open General Assembly of the ASO, as well as the management of policy development activities. The other major role of the Address Council is the appointment of Directors to the ICANN Board of Directors. The Address Council follows the procedures described in the MoU, using an open call for nominations and an open process of selection. 3. The Role of Members of the Address Council --------------------------------------------- Members of the Address Council will not receive any compensation or reimbursement of expenses from the ASO. They will not be indemnified by the ASO, nor will the ASO obtain insurance coverage relating to the liability of the actions of members of the Address Council. Council members will not represent any RIR, nor act as a representative of any other body. The Council members are appointed in their individual capacity, and their membership shall not be proxied by any other individual or organization. Upon request, ARIN will pay ASO AC meeting travel expenses for the three representatives it votes onto the Address Council. 4. Address Council Nominations Process -------------------------------------- Any individual may be nominated within this process, with the exception of staff members of any Regional Internet Registries. Self-nominations are permitted. Please visit http://www.arin.net/aso/asonomform.htm to submit your nominations.
