Dear All,

This is a heads-up regarding the upcoming call for nominations to fill
ICANN Board Seat 12.  Following the resignation of Katrina Sataki from
the ICANN Board effective 23 August 2024, the Empowered Community and
ccNSO Council have been formally invited to fill the vacancy:

  	* For the remainder of Katrina's term until the 2024 ICANN Annual
General Meeting (AGM) in November.
	* For a 3-year term beginning at the 2024 ICANN AGM and ending at the
2027 AGM.

The ccNSO Council has appointed a Nomination Process Manager and adopted
a timeline for this process, which follows the requirements of Section
10.3 (i) of the ICANN Bylaws [1], the ccNSO Internal Rules [2], and the
applicable ccNSO Guideline [3].

The ccNSO Council will open a call for nominations to fill ICANN Board
seat number 12, beginning on Tuesday 10 September 2024 (00:01 UTC) and
ending three weeks later, on Tuesday 27 September 2024 (23:59 UTC). The
deadline for accepting nominations is Friday, 4 October 2024 (23:59
UTC). The election will take place in February 2025, following the
completion of due diligence on the nominee(s) by a professional firm. A
virtual question and answer session with the candidate(s) will be held
in late January.

The ICANN Bylaws specify the requirements for suitably qualified
candidates, including details regarding citizenship or domicile [Section
7.2(c) [4]]. Requirements regarding employment by a ccTLD are included
in the applicable ccNSO Guideline [3].  Patricio Poblete, who occupies
Board Seat 11, is domiciled in Chile, Latin America/Caribbean-region.
Therefore, the Director for Board Seat 12 cannot be domiciled in the
Latin America/Caribbean-region. Candidates do not need to be employed by
a ccTLD in order to be nominated, but if there is an employment or other
relationship, this should be disclosed by the candidate as part of their
Candidate Statement.

The ccNSO Secretariat will share more details latest on Monday, 9
September 2024, including:

  	* information on the procedure for nominating and seconding candidates
	* a reminder and details regarding the requirements for suitably
qualified candidates
	* the relevant timeline
	* next steps

To stay informed about the Board Seat Nomination process, see upcoming
announcements on the ccNSO Member mailing list and on the ccNSO website
[5].
