[UA-discuss] Call for Nominations

[Don Hollander]

Yes.  The same cohort who can stand can vote.

We have taken the voting addresses as of today.

Actually, the existing Chair is precluded from standing again as Chair and two of the existing vice-chars are precluded from standing as vice-chairs.   In all three cases they have served the maximum two terms.   But they already know that.

Subject: [Ext] Re: [UA-discuss] Call for Nominations

I have a question.
The text says that “ Anyone subscribed to the UA-discuss at icann.org<mailto:UA-discuss at icann.org> mailing list is eligible to stand”. However, it does not say - or I have missed - who can vote.
I assume that it is all the subscribers of the UA-discuss at icann.org<mailto:UA-discuss at icann.org> mailing list, but I would like to have confirmation.
Thanks,
Roberto
