Item 4: Process for electing a replacement for ICANN Board seat #13

Alejandro Pisanty's term on the ICANN Board concludes 6 months after the
ICANN annual meeting in 2006 (ie 8 June 2007). As recorded in the minutes of 19 Feb 04
(http://www.gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-19feb04.shtml)
Alejandro is not eligible for re-election as he has reached the term limit provisions in the ICANN bylaws ("no Director may serve more than three consecutive terms").

The GNSO must inform the Secretary of ICANN of its selection for Board Seat #13 before 8 May 2007.

Note also at any given time, no two Directors selected by a Supporting Organization shall be citizens of the same country or of countries located in the same Geographic Region. Rita Rodin was recently selected by the GNSO to fill ICANN Board Seat #14, and is from North America.

(From ICANN bylaws http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VI , Article VI, section 8, clauses 1(e) and 3, and Section 2, clause 3)

The GNSO Secretariat will propose a timeline/process for consideration.
