Consistent with the ASO Memorandum of Understanding and ICANN Bylaws
Article VI Section 8.1.e and 8.4, the Address Supporting Organization
Address Council (ASO AC) calls for nominations for Seat Number 10 on the
ICANN Board.
The full time frame for the selection process will be announced by the
ASO AC after its September meeting.
For ongoing information and notices about the selection process please

http://aso.icann.org/people/icann-board-elections/2013-elections
According to ASO AC Operating Procedures, the nomination period will be
open for at least 60 calendar days. Based on this, the nomination period
will close at 23:59 UTC on 19 October 2012, pending ASO AC ratification
of selection process timeline.
All candidates must sign a Letter of Certification detailing previous
conduct and character. The ASO Secretariat will send this letter to each
applicant along with instructions on what to do next. We are unable to
consider candidates who fail to follow these instructions.
Additionally, the elected candidate will be subject to an independent
due diligence review conducted by an ICANN provided contractor (election
procedures section 7.4.9). This review is similar to those performed
with all ICANN Board selected candidates.
Announcement of the winner will follow the successful review report. The
ASO AC election procedures are found in Section 7 of the ASO AC
Operating Procedures and are available on the ASO website at:
http://aso.icann.org/documents/operating-procedures-aso-ac
Article VI of the ICANN Bylaws states that: “At any given time, no two
Directors selected by a Supporting Organization shall be citizens from
the same country or of countries located in the same Geographic Region.”
The ASO AC selection for Seat 9 of the ICANN Board of Directors resides
in the ARIN region, so nominees for Seat 10 cannot come from that
region.
