Interacting with the Final Candidates of the ICANN Board Director Selected by 
the At-Large Community


Dear All,

Greenberg<https://community.icann.org/x/PqbDAw> and Leon 
Sanchez<https://community.icann.org/x/SabDAw> have been selected as the Final 
Slate of Candidates ("Candidates") for the ICANN Board Director selected by the 
At-Large Community.



To help the At-Large Community members to learn more about the background, 
views, and positions of the Candidates and to help the electorate 
members<https://community.icann.org/x/8LXDAw> to decide on their votes in the 
final election (starts on 21 Feb 2017, view 
timeline<https://community.icann.org/x/ORq4Aw>), the Board Member Selection 
Process Committee (BMSPC) have decided to organize the following interaction 
activities after soliciting feedback across the community:



  1.  An At-Large Community wide teleconference where Candidates introduce 
themselves and answer questions from members.
  2.  An interactive wiki workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/ArXDAw> for 
At-Large members to ask questions to the Final Slate of Candidates and for the 
Candidates to answer.

Tuesday, 14 February 2017 13:00-15:00 UTC for the Community to meet the 
Candidates and ask questions about their vision about At-Large, ICANN, the 
Board and beyond. If you cannot attend, recording and transcript will be made 
available via the At-Large Board Member Selection 
wiki<https://community.icann.org/x/3bTDAw>. Agenda and participation details 
will be distributed shortly.
