Call for Nominations
The ICANN Bylaws Section 4 (Membership), paragraph 8 state:
"Any ccNSO member may nominate an individual to serve as a ccNSO Council member representing the ccNSO member's Geographic Region. Nominations must be seconded by another ccNSO member from the same Geographic Region."
With exception of the Latin American and Caribbean Region, each member can nominate one candidate for election to the ccNSO Council and each member can second one candidate.
Further, due to the special circumstances in the Latin American and Caribbean region, where one Council member stepped down before the end of term, members of the Latin American and Caribbean Region can nominate a second candidate. The nominations and secondments from the LAC region clearly need to indicate the year the nominee's term is to end, by adding "March 2017" or “March 2019" after the nominee's name.
Candidates do not need to be resident in the region or a citizen of a country within the region in which they stand for election.
In order to be able to nominate or second a candidate, the ccTLD manager must be a member of the ccNSO by 15 September 2015.
Nominations or Seconds should be sent by e-mail to the Nominations Manager at the following e-mail address: ccnso-nominations@icann.org
PLEASE NOTE: If you send a Nomination or Second you will receive an email from ICANN asking you to confirm that you have sent an email to ccnso-nominations@icann.org. For your Nomination or Second to be valid you MUST respond to the email requesting confirmation.
