[apralo] Asia/Pacific At-Large delegate is needed for ICANN's 2006 Nominating Committee

[ICANN At-Large - Denise Michel <michel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings.

The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is seeking 
volunteers/recommendations for delegates to ICANN’s 2006 Nominating 
Committee (NomCom), which selects individuals to serve on ICANN’s Board 
and in other leadership positions.  Please share this notice with 
members of your group.  Interested individuals should complete the 
"statement of interest form" included below and email it to 
<committee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> before the end of the year.

It would be ideal if a member of one of your groups served as the 
Asia/Pacific At-Large NomCom delegate for 2006.  Five At-Large delegates 
will serve on the NomCom, one from each geographic region, and the ALAC 
is looking to each region's At-Large community for volunteers and 
guidance in these selections.

In 2006, the NomCom will be filling positions on ICANN’s Board of 
Directors, the ALAC, the GNSO Council, and the ccNSO Council.  NomCom 
delegates serve for one year, and work primarily via email and 
conference calls, along with a few face to face meetings. FAQs on the 
NomCom, its mission, criteria for its delegates, and other information 
is posted at <http://www.icann.org/committees/nom-comm/nc2004/faqs.htm>.

Please do not hesitate to contact the ALAC (committee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) or 
me if you have any questions.

Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
