IAB -- 14 September 1999 -- IETF-Announce ----------------------------------------- Call for nominees for ICANN Board IETF, The Protocol Council of the ICANN Protocol Supporting Organization will shortly be called upon to elect three members to the Board of ICANN, for one, two and three year terms respectively, in accordance with the by-laws of ICANN and the PSO MOU. As a member of the PSO, the IETF is entitled to nominate candidates for these positions. As the IETF does not yet have a definitive procedure in place for this, the IAB will act as a nominating committee, as part of its chartered role of managing external liaisons for the IETF. This is a call for nominations from the IETF at large for these three positions. Nominations (including self-nominations) should be sent to iab@iab.org by Friday September 24. If possible, please indicate whether the nominee would be willing to serve for one, two or three years if appointed. The IAB intends to finalize the nominations as quickly as possible after September 24, after which the PSO Council will appoint its three ICANN Board members from the pool of nominees submitted by all PSO members. Note that the responsibilities of ICANN Board Members are described at http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm Brian Carpenter IAB Chair
