of Interests for Candidates for Post of ICANN Board Seat
Extended to September 6, 2010</h2>
<p style="margin: 15px 0px 0px;">20 August 2010</p>
<p> <strong> </strong>The Call for Statements of Interest
(SOIs) for Candidates for the Post of ICANN Board Seat has
been extended to September 6. </p>
<p> This Call for SOIs is part of the new process through which
the user community within ICANN will appoint one voting member
of the ICANN Board. While acting in a personal capacity as a
member of the ICANN Board, this member must be able to reflect
the users' point of view and interests in the debate and
decision making undertaken within the ICANN framework.</p>
<p> In seeking candidates for this post, ICANN's At-Large
Community is looking for an individual with a broad
international perspective and a background in Internet users'
interests, consumer policy and/or civil society worldwide.</p>
<p> <strong>Information about the At-Large Community:</strong></p>
<p>"At-Large" is the name of the community of individual
Internet users involved in ICANN's policy development process.
It currently consists of over 120 active At-Large
organizations (called "At-Large structures" or "ALSes"),
representing the opinions of the global community of Internet
users. At-Large provides a means through which individual end
users of the Internet worldwide can participate in the matters
on which ICANN works, such as:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Guidance on how to run Internationalized Domain Names
(IDN); </li>
<li>How to introduce new gTLDs (such as .info, .name and
.museum); and </li>
<li>How to implement a stable and fair transition from IPv4 to
the next Internet addresses generation, IPv6. </li>
</ul>
<p>The At-Large Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC) now
calls for Statements of Interest (SOIs).</p>
