[arin-announce] REMINDER: ASO AC Call for Nominations for Seat 10 on the ICANN Board

[ARIN]

On 17 August 2012, the ASO AC called for nominations for the ASO
appointment to Seat 10 on the ICANN Board of Directors. View this
announcement at:

http://aso.icann.org/news/call-for-seat-10-nominations-2013/

The nomination period will end on 19 October 2012.

If you are considering nominating someone or yourself, please do not
wait until the end of the nomination phase. Nominees will need time to
sign and return a letter certifying they are of good character, before
the end of the nomination period. Failure to meet the deadline will make
nominees ineligible for consideration by the ASO AC Qualification Review
Committee.

The ASO AC has now published the full timeline for other phases in the
selection process. The timeline, along with details on how to submit a
nomination, are available at the following URL:

Please note: Article VI of the ICANN Bylaws states that: “At any given
time, no two Directors selected by a Supporting Organization shall be
citizens from the same country or of countries located in the same
Geographic Region.” The ASO AC selection for Seat 9 of the ICANN Board
of Directors resides in the ARIN region, so nominees for Seat 10 cannot
come from that region.
