The ASO AC has announced today it has extended its deadline for the nomination period for the selection of seat 10 on the ICANN Board of Directors.
Nominations will close now on Thursday January 7th 2015 at 23:59 UTC
As a consequence of the nomination period extension the new timeline will be as follows
Nomination Phase Wednesday 30 September 2015 to Thursday 7 January 2016
Comment Phase Friday 8 January 2016 to Thursday 7 April 2016
Interview phase Sunday 7 February 2016 to Thursday 7 April 2016
Selection Process Friday 8 April 2016 to Friday 29 April 2016
Diligence review Saturday 30 April 2016 to Monday 13 June 2016
Announcement Around 13 June 2016
The ICANN Bylaws state that no two directors selected by a Supporting Organization can come from the same geographic region. Because the ASO AC selection for Seat 9 is from the ARIN region, nominees for Seat 10 cannot also come from this region.
All candidates must sign a Letter of Certification declaring that they are of good character. The selected candidate will undergo an independent due diligence review by an ICANN contractor, and announcement of the candidate will follow once this review has been successfully completed.
