[bc-gnso] Nominating Committee 2010

[Marilyn Cade]

I am considering  standing for selection to the Nominating Committee.
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. 
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. 
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. 
One thing that would be helpful is a debrief from the present reps on the time commitment, the travel commitments, etc.

Dear Members
 
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.
 
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.
 
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).
 
Background information on the Nominating Committee 
can be found here http://nomcom.icann.org
 
Proposed timetable:
Nomination of candidates    Monday 
17 August for one week
Voting                               Tuesday 
25 August for one week
 
I will send a formal notice of nominations closer 
to the time.
 
Best wishes
Gary
