ICANN Board Candidate Search

[Michael StJohns <mstjohns@mindspring.com>]

OK - as the designated IETF sacrificial lamb to the ICANN nomcom I need
your help.  The ICANN is looking for more than a few good men and
women to volunteer to be considered for membership on the ICANN
board.  I'm looking to you folks to come up with some names for the
lions.  I've pasted in the announcement that was sent to the IETF
list on the 7th of April. If you've got some ideas on candidates, you can
either send them to me at mstjohns@mindspring.com and I'll forward them
to the nomcom, or  (preferred) you can send them to the
nomcom.submissions@icann.org list.  

Thanks - Mike





We, the ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom), have just posted our Formal
Call for Recommendations and Statements of Interest for the ICANN 
positions NomCom will select. Please see 
http://www.icann.org/committees/nom-comm/formal-call-05apr03.htm
This 
information has also been distributed via the ICANN Announce list. 
We would like to send a special invitation to the members of the IETF to 
submit as individuals their recommendations and statements of interest for 
the positions NomCom will fill. The success of this new Nominating 
Committee process depends on the active participation of members of the 
Internet community, and we are eager to encourage your attention to this 
opportunity. 
Our timeline is short because our goal is to be able to seat the New Board 
and NomCom-selected members of the GNSO Council and Interim ALAC at the 
conclusion of the Montreal ICANN meeting June 22-26, 2003. 
We believe you will find in the posted Formal Call the information needed 
about NomCom, about the positions to be filled, the eligibility and 
criteria that apply, the review process, and how to respond to this 
invitation. But we do understand that questions will arise and we would 
like to engage directly with IETF members in our recruiting. NomCom is 
therefore offering to participate in teleconferences organized by groups 
such as the IETF to help launch the Nominating Process. If you would like 
me and some of the NomCom members to participate in one of your 
teleconferences, please contact me via email. 
NomCom will be posting Frequently Asked Questions with their answers on the 
NomCom web page http://www.icann.org/committees/nom-comm/ and invites 
comments via email to nomcom.comments@icann.org

We encourage all those interested in this new Nominating Committee process 
to visit our webpage and to subscribe to nomcom.announce-request@icann.org 
to receive notice of news from the Committee. 
Let me also express my thanks for the excellent participation Mike St.Johns 
has provided in the work of the Nominating Committee.

We look forward to hearing from you and your colleagues in the IETF.

Linda Wilson, Chair of the ICANN Nominating Committee
