    Dear BC Members,<br>
    <div class="moz-forward-container">
      <div dir="ltr">
        <div><br>
          <div> On Feb. 11th, 2013, ICANN posted a call for volunteers
            for nomination for a Meeting Strategy Working Group. The
            deadline for submitting self nominations is Sunday, March
            3rd, 2013. This advisory by the BC Secretariat is
            informational. </div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>Please find below the link and text for ICANN's
            announcement and list of necessary materials. </div>
          <div> <br>
            To date, three BC members have indicated their interest in
            submitting their self nomination to ICANN [alpha by
            organizational affiliation]:<br>
            <ol>
              <li>Michelle Chaplow, Andalucia.com</li>
              <li>Liz Sweezey, Fairwinds Partners</li>
              <li>Gabriela Szlak, E-Instituto</li>
            </ol>
            <br>
            All three members are members in good standing, and along
            with any other self nominees, should follow the process
            described in the ICANN materials. <br>
            <br>
            It is important for all BC members to know that other CSG
            Constituencies have members who are also nominating
            themselves. Given the number of interested volunteers, and
            based on other similar nomination processes that involve
            nominees across the three constituencies, normally, the CSG
            Executive Committee [two reps per each of the three
            constituencies] has undertaken a process for endorsement, if
            endorsement is possible.  As BC Secretariat, I leave this
            discussion to the two present participants in the CSG Excom:
            Elisa Cooper, CSG Rep and Marilyn Cade, Chair/Alternate CSG
            Rep.  <br>
            <br>
            However, all BC members will want to review the relevant
            materials.   As clearly noted in the ICANN materials, the
            number of representatives per SO will be between 1 and 4,
            with no guarantee of any specific number. <br>
            <br>
            Please find the link and ICANN announcement below for your
            convenience.<br>
            <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:
              monospace; white-space: pre; "><br>
            </span></div>
          <div>Again, any interested BC member should follow the self
            nomination process.  I would welcome your keeping the
            Secretariat informed so that I can advise the BC Excomm of
            candidates who self nominate [such as the three BC members
            above].  </div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>Discussion of process within the CSG is up to the two
            representatives of the BC to the CSG Excomm - the CSG rep,
            Elisa Cooper and the Chair/Alternate CSG rep, Marilyn Cade. </div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>Please note from the process established by ICANN that
            direct submission of materials is required. To facilitate
            the BC and then CSG process, it would be helpful if you cc'd
            the BC Secretariat on your self nomination materials. <br>
            <br>
            Kind regards,<br>
