[apnic-talk][Apnic-announce] ASO GA, and Call for Nominations to the ICA
The following announcement includes a call for nominations to the ICANN
Board of Directors, relating to ASO seats on the Board.
Due to geographic diversity requirements, the next ASO board seat which is
scheduled to be vacated must be filled by an individual from North America,
South America or Europe.
However, nominations of such individuals may be made by anyone regardless of
location.
In addition, individuals from other locations may be nominated to fill any
casual vacancies which arise among ASO seats, during the coming year.
I hope that you will consider attending the ASO General Assembly, also
announced below.
Best regards,
Paul Wilson

is pleased to announce the 5th ASO General Assembly Meeting,
to be held on Wednesday, 5 May 2004 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This
meeting will be hosted by the RIPE NCC alongside the RIPE 47 Meeting and
will be open to all parties with an interest in ASO policy matters. A
detailed meeting agenda will be published in due course on the ASO web site
at: http://www.aso.icann.org.
In compliance with the ASO MoU <http://www.aso.icann.org/docs/aso-mou.html>,
the Address Council and ICANN hereby call for nominations to the ICANN Board
to fill vacant ASO seats on the ICANN Board. The next such seat scheduled to
become vacant in May 2004 is currently occupied by Mr Lyman Chapin. However,
candidates nominated at this time may also be chosen to fill other seats
that may become vacant before or after this time. Note that appointments to
the ICANN Board must satisfy the geographic diversity contraints specified
in section 3c. of the ASO MoU. Nominees from North America, South America
and Europe are eligible this time.
Any individual may be nominated within this process, with the exception of
any official of a national government or a multinational entity established
by treaty or other agreement between national governments (ICANN Bylaws Art.
VI., Sec 4). Self-nominations are permitted.
