[lac-discuss-en] ICANN Boat Seat 15 Selection

[ICANN At-Large Staff <staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This message is being sent on behalf of Yrjö Länsipuro, the Chair of the 
Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC) and Alan Greenberg, Chair of the 
Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC).

From BCEC Chair:

The BCEC received only one Expression of Interest for position of Board Member 
selected by At-Large (ICANN Board Seat 15) for the three year term beginning at 
the conclusion of ICANN69 scheduled to be held in Hamburg in October 2020. The 
BCEC confirmed that the applicant is an excellent candidate, and in accordance 
with its responsibilities under ALAC Rules of Procedure (RoP), places the name 
of León Sánchez on the BCEC Slate of Candidates for Seat 15.

From the BMSPC Chair:

The ALAC RoP allow RALOs to petition to add additional candidates to the BCEC 
Slate of Candidates. In this case, there were no additional EoIs submitted, so 
no petition process is possible. 

The ALAC RoP 19.11.2 reads: "If there is only one candidate on the Final 
Candidate List, that candidate will be acclaimed the winner."

Accordingly it is my pleasure to announce that León Felipe Sánchez Ambía has 
been selected as the occupant of ICANN Board Seat 15 for a second three year 
term beginning at the conclusion of ICANN69 scheduled to be held in Hamburg in 
October 2020.

Kind regards,
