[registrars] Call for nominations to participate in the 2005 ICANN budgetary process.

[Robert F. Connelly]

Dear Members:

In 2004, we learned how important the Budget Advisory Committee (BAG) can 
be for ICANN Accredited Registrars.  Lacking Registrar input, the increased 
financial l burden transferred from other sources to Registrars can be 
devastating:-(

It is time to select nominees for the 2005 committee.  It has been suggest 
that we change it to a Task Force, namely, the "Budget Evaluation and 
Advisory Special Taskforce" or BEAST.

Candidates for the BEAST should be able to deal even handedly with the 
divergent impacts of both large and small registrars.

Please submit nominations to the Secretary.  1. Before making a nomination, 
please be sure that your nominees will accept the nomination.  2. Please be 
sure that an endorser will second your nomination.  3. Nominees must 
formally accept their nominations.  4. Nominees must post a conflict of 
interest statement.

It would be helpful if the nominator and seconder say why they think their 
nominee is qualified to serve on the BEAST. A similar statement by the 
nominee would help our members to evaluate candidates.

Let the nominations begin!

Respectfully submitted,
Bob Connelly
Secretary to the Registrars Constituency.
