[Chapter-delegates] [Fwd: [ISOC-members-announce] Internet Society - Call for Nominations]

Hi,

To avoid the problems of last year elections, I would like to know if 
the current leaving members seek re-election. It should be fair that 
they stand election without having to go through nomcom. Let the 
membership decide. However nomcom has to select some more candidates to 
contest each position.

Cheers

Call for Nominations

  This a call for nominations for election to the Board of Trustees of
  the Internet Society (ISOC). The Board of Trustees is ultimately
  responsible for all aspects of the Internet Society, as outlined in
  the ISOC by-laws which can be found at:

      http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/bylaws.shtml.

In 2006, two Trustees will be elected by the ISOC Organizational
Members and one by the ISOC Chapters.

In addition, one Trustee will be selected by the Internet Architecture Board.


The new ISOC Trustees will be seated at the ISOC Board meeting
in Marrakesh, Morocco, July 1, 2006 and will serve three year
terms, ending when new ISOC Board members are seated in 2009.

The procedures for the selection of Trustees of the Internet Society
can be found at:

      http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/select.shtml

  A profile of the current Board of Trustees can be found at:

      http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/board.shtml

  The following Trustees' current terms will end in August 2005:

      Rosa Delgado (Elected by Chapters)
      Steve Crocker (Elected by Organizational Members)
      Pindar Wong (Elected by Organizational Members)
      Margaret Wasserman (Selected by IAB)

The ISOC Nominations Committee expects to choose at least
four well-qualified candidates for the Organizational Member
elections and at least two well-qualified candidates for the
Chapter elections.

Candidates for ISOC Trustee should have demonstrable
involvement in the Internet, particularly in the areas of
standards, public policy or education. Ideally,
candidates should have understanding of technology,
policy, business and economics.

The following qualifications are also highly desirable:

- Organizational leadership experience, including Board
experience
- General business skills
- Ability to raise funds for not-for-profit organizations
- Non-for-profit experience
- The ability to identify relevant ISOC projects and obtain
funds or other resources to accomplish them
- Vision for the role of the Internet Society

ISOC is interested in broadly-based representation on the Board of
Trustees and seeks to identify candidates from industry, education,
non-profit or government.  The selection criteria will include
regional location, current activities, relevant experience and
professional background.

Nominations should be sent to the Nominations Committee using
the web form at: http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/bot-nom.php,
or by sending e-mail to Nominations2006 at isoc.org.  Please use
the following subject line for e-mail messages containing nominations:

      ISOC Board Nomination: name of nominee

Anyone may submit a name to the Nominations Committee.
Nominations should be submitted no later than January 10, 2006
in order to ensure due consideration of the nomination by the
committee. Self-nominations, agreed nominations and
suggestions are all welcome.

Each nomination should be submitted separately, and should
include:

- the name of the nominated individual
- contact information for the nominee (including, at minimum,
an e-mail address and country of residence)
- a brief explanation of why you believe that the nominee
should be considered for an ISOC Board position.

Please indicate whether you consider the nominee a candidate
to be elected by the Organizational Members, the Chapters or
both.  Although Trustees are selected by different constituencies,
all Trustees serve the Internet Society; they do not serve as
delegates from the constituency which elected or selected them.

Nominees will be contacted by the Nominations Committee
and asked to provide further information about their
qualifications and about their ability and willingness
to serve on the ISOC Board of Trustees.

The list of nominated candidates will be announced on
February 7, 2006. At that time, a petition period will begin
and additional candidates for election to the Board of
Trustees may be nominated by the Organizational
Members and Chapters by petition.

The Election Committee will start the balloting for Organizational
Members and Chapters on or before March 23, 2006 and
the final Election Day is scheduled for April 29 2006.
