[arin-announce] Last Reminder: Call for ICANN Board Nominations Close 7 January 2016

[ARIN]

This message has been sent on the behalf of the Address Supporting
Organization (ASO)

***
After last extension of the nomination period, this is a last reminder of
the Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC) call for
nominations for Seat Number 10 on the ICANN Board.

Nominations period will close at 23:59 UTC on 7 January 2016.

The ASO AC election procedures are found in Section 7 of the ASO
Operating Procedures and are available on the ASO website at:

https://aso.icann.org/documents/operational-documents/operating-procedures-aso-ac/

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 reside in the ARIN
region.
