Board Seat #13 Election Resolution
Motion made by Chuck Gomes and seconded by Stephane van Gelder

Whereas, the ICANN Bylaws specify that the GNSO has the right to select two
individuals to serve on the ICANN Board, commonly referred to as Board Seats
13 and 14;

Whereas, under the Bylaws, the Contracted Parties House of the GNSO Council
selects the individual to fill Board Seat 13, and the Non-Contracted Parties
House selects the individual to fill Board Seat 14;

Whereas, on 28 January 2010, the GNSO Council approved the process proposed
by the Contracted Party House to select a representative to fill Board Seat
13 for the 2010 election, and amended its Operating Procedures to include
that process (see -
http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-council-28jan10-en.htm);

Whereas the Contracted Parties House of the GNSO Council has utilized that
process to select Bruce Tonkin to serve as the Board member for Seat 13;

RESOLVED, The GNSO Council acknowledges the selection of Bruce Tonkin by the
Contracted Parties House to fill ICANN Board Seat 13 and directs the GNSO
Secretariat to make the necessary notifications to the Board and the
community.


Thank you.
Kind regards,

Glen
