~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~oOo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deadline June 15, 2005.

The ICANN Nominating Committee invites Recommendations and Statements of 
Interest from the community as it seeks qualified candidates for the 
following positions:

  -  two members of the ICANN Board of Directors;

  -  three members of the At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) from:
      Asia Pacific, Latin American and Caribbean and African Regions;

  -  two members of the Council of the Generic Names Supporting
      Organization (GNSO); and

  -  one member of the Council of the Country-Code Names
      Supporting Organization (ccNSO)

Those individuals selected by the Nominating Committee will have a 
unique opportunity to work with accomplished colleagues from around the 
globe, address intriguing technical coordination problems and related 
policy development challenges with diverse functional, cultural, and 
geographic dimensions, and gain valuable insights and experience from 
working across these boundaries of knowledge, responsibility and 
perspective.

Additionally, those selected will gain the satisfaction of making a 
valuable public service contribution. Placing the broad public interest 
ahead of any particular interests, they will help ensure the stability 
and security of the Internet for critically important societal functions.

These voluntary positions are not remunerated, although direct expenses 
incurred in the course of duty may be reimbursed. These positions may 
involve significant international travel, including personal presence at 
periodic ICANN meetings, as well as regular telephone and Internet 
communications.

Candidates should be women and men with a high level of qualifications 
and experience with an international outlook including some familiarity 
with the Internet. They should be prepared to contribute to the 
collective decision-making process among ICANN's constituencies, 
supporting organizations and advisory bodies.

Selection criteria, eligibility factors, roles of each position, 
application procedure, and contacts are posted at:

   <http://www.icann.org/committees/nom-comm/formalcall-22apr05.htm>

Applications will be handled confidentially and should be received by 
12:00 GMT on 15 June 2005 for full consideration. Selections will be 
made in October with service beginning in December 2005.
