[Anne Lord]

Dear Colleagues,

The Nominations Committee has announced the slate for the 2009 ISOC  
Board of
Trustees elections and has opened the period for nominations by  
petition.

To view the announcement on the website, please go to:

http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/elections/2009/nomcommreport090209.shtml
(or  http://tinyurl.com/czhf7f)

Petition procedures are outlined below.

This year, two Trustees will be elected by ISOC Organizational Members  
and
one by ISOC Chapters for 3-year terms that start June 2009 and expire  
June
2012.

The selected candidates for the Chapters Election are:

Khaled Koubaa, Tunisia
Narelle Clark, Australia

The selected candidates for Organisational Membership Election are:

Jonathan Zittrain, United States
Allen Miller, United States
Phillip Smith, Australia
David Appasamy, India
Guanghao Li, China

Petitions to add candidates to the 2009 ballot must be filed with the  
Chair
of the Nominations Committee at <2009-petition-request at isoc.org>.

Separate petition mailboxes will be created for each valid petition  
request
that is received.

The petition request should include:

1. A statement whether the candidate wants to run for the Organisational
Members Election or the Chapters Election, including a statement that  
the
candidate will be able to devote an appropriate level of time to serve  
on
the ISOC Board of Trustees.

2. A short statement of what the petition candidate believes he or she  
would
contribute as a Trustee of the Internet Society.  All petition  
candidates
will be listed in periodic announcements to participating Chapters and
Organisational Members via electronic mail and will be posted on the  
ISOC
web site.

Signatures in support of a petition shall be filed electronically and  
must
be received by 23:59 UTC on the night of March 11. For the purposes of  
this
policy, a "signature" shall be an email expressing support for the
candidate's petition sent by the Election Representative of a Chapter or
Organisational Member that is eligible to participate in this  
election, and
is subject to ISOC verification. The message should include the
Organisational Member's or Chapter's name and the name of the candidate
whose petition is supported.

Each signature must come directly from the Election Representative via  
email
to an address designated by the ISOC staff. The Election  
Representative must
send a separately e-mailed signature for each candidate he or she  
wishes to
support to the candidate's individual petition mailbox as designated by
ISOC. Each petitioner shall be provided with copies of all signature e- 
mails
for his or her candidacy and periodic reports about his or her status in
obtaining signatures. Announcements regarding successful petitions  
shall be
made as soon as practical, and need not await the end of the petition
period.

Participating Organisational Members or Chapters can sign petitions for
candidates running within their own constituency only. A Participating
Organisational Member or Chapter may sign more than one petition.

For a petition to be successful a candidate in the Organisational  
Members
constituency needs the support of 6 valid signatures and a candidate  
in the
Chapters constituency needs 6 valid signatures.

Successful petitioners will be placed on the ballot. The final candidate
announcement will be made no later than March 12.

Sincerely,

Anne
[Sent on behalf of the Nominations Committee]
