I am considering standing for selection to the Nominating Committee.<div><br></div><div>Can the secretariat explain the process for nominations; discussion with other members, etc.? I know we would want a fully open and well understood process so that anyone interested can self identify, and put their interests forward. I'm not making a declaration, but a declaration of possible interest in standing. </div><div><br></div><div>I'd probably prefer to see a member from a developing country as one of the selected reps from the BC, but understand the time commitments make that challenging. </div><div><br></div><div>I have served one term long ago, and far away now. I am a micro enterprise owner -- of a company with one principal, and an ocassional associate. I'll have to review the work commitment,but since I am doing only business outreach, this is something I might be able to commit to. </div><div><br></div><div>One thing that would be helpful is a debrief from the present reps on the time commitment, the travel commitments, etc. </div><div><br></div><div>Marilyn Cade, ICT Strategies, mCADE LLC<br><br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: secretariat@bizconst.org<br>To: bc-gnso@icann.org<br>Subject: [bc-gnso] Nominating Committee 2010<br>Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 08:51:01 +0200<br><br>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I have received notification from Tricia Drakes,
current chair of the Nominating Committee, regarding selection of BC
representatives to the Nominating Committee for 2010. In reality, this means our
representatives need to be in place in time for the ICANN meetings in Seoul at
the end of October.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Tricia has asked that our selection process is
completed by the end of August. I am aware that some members may be on
holiday at this time so this mail is notice of the proposed timescale for
the election.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">As usual, the BC can elect two representatives -
one for large business and one for small business. Both Phil Lodico and Liz
Williams will have served one term and are eligible to stand again (members can
serve for a maximum of two years consecutively).</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Background information on the Nominating Committee
can be found here <a href="http://nomcom.icann.org">http://nomcom.icann.org</a></font></div>
