Waudo, In fact, seat 15 of the Board is a new Director position being filled as per a resolution of the Board. It is the At Large director position, the selection of which goes through a different process.The At large Community (ALAC) of ICANN has thus established an adhoc committee (BCEC) which oversees the process and proceed to voting. The difference here is while the NOMCOM selects other board members, the BCEC has designed its own procedures including community forum call, wiki and a vote by its 20 members. I hope this helps!

Inspirational words Eric but I thought the "Africa" rep on the ICANN BOard is selected by the NOMCOM. The current one is our friend from Gambia. I would be very happy to hear that Pierre is also on the Board but in my mind he would first and foremost be there for the ALAC?? Waudo

Comrades,
The other day, the Americans decided they were going to put a man on the moon, not too long NASA was established for this prupose and President Kennedy went to visit. The entire staff were lined and he asked eveyone what their purpose was, one answer kept echoing and then he got to the cleaner and his answer was, "am also helping to put a man on the moon". This episode ranks very high in the school of "unity of purpose" and i beckon us to that high calling.
We have an opportunity to put a man (woman) on the ICANN board again, we have done it before so may i submit that we unit around this common purpose and ensure that we dont major on the minors and minor on the majors.
Here is the check, if you are about to send a post (on
and any other forum), ask yourself, "would it help put a man (woman) on the ICANN board to represent Africa?
Good day.
Eric here NB: Sorry about cross posting.
