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

[ARIN]

This reminder is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization (NRO):

Consistent with the ASO Memorandum of Understanding and ICANN Bylaws,
the Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC) calls for
nominations for Seat Number 10 on the ICANN Board of Directors.

Nominations will close at 23:59 UTC on Sunday, 13 December 2015.

The time frame for the selection process is as follows:

– Nomination Phase – 30 September 2015 to 13 December 2015
– Comment Phase – 14 December 2015 to 13 March 2016
– Interview Phase – 13 January 2016 to 13 March 2016
– Selection Process – 14 March 2016 to 4 April 2016
– Due Diligence Review – 5 April 2016 to 20 May 2016
– Announcement – Around 21 May 2016

The ICANN Bylaws state that no two directors selected by a Supporting
Organization can come from the same Geographic Region. Because the ASO
AC selection for Seat 9 is from the ARIN region, nominees for Seat 10
cannot also come from this region.

All candidates must sign a Letter of Certification declaring that they
are of good character. The selected candidate will undergo an
independent due diligence review by an ICANN contractor, and
announcement of the candidate will follow once this review has been
successfully completed.

Community members are invited to submit nominations by email to
nominations2016 at aso.icann.org, including the following information:

– The full name of the person being nominated
– Contact email address for the person being nominated
– Contact telephone number (if available) of the person being nominated
– The full name of the person making the nomination
– Contact email address for the person making the nomination
– Contact telephone number of the person making the nomination

The election procedures are found in Section 7 of the ASO AC Operating
Procedures, which are available at:
