Hi,

You requested a copy of my original note to the IETF POSED mailing
list. Here's my original posting...

By a majority vote the PSO PC determined to extend the deadline for 
nominations to 15 August 2002

To quote from http://www.pso.icann.org/ICANN-BOD/icann-bod.html

NEW ANNOUNCEMENT:

As the 3 year term of Phil Davidson as a member of the ICANN Board of 
Trustees ended,  the PSO-PC has opened on 1st June 2002 the Call for 
Nominations from the SDOs and  the public at large to the ICANN Board for 
the term beginning October 1, 2002.  Nominations have to be emailed to 
PSO-PC Secretary: vladimir.androuchko@itu.int  accompanied by nominees' 
CVs. The closing date for nominations has been extended  from 15 July to 15 
August, 2002.

I understand that no nominations were received by the original deadline 
of  15 July 2002.

If you feel that there are candidates who should be considered by the PSO, 
or, of course, if you feel that your name should be considered by the PSO 
as a candidate, then  I guess that you should submit names and details to 
the PSO by the 15th August as per  the process described above.

Your response includes the comment that: "No nomination was submitted by 
the original deadline due to a pure administrative problem related to the 
holiday period."

Whether it was the dog or the cat that ate the homework is perhaps not 
exactly the point here. ( :-) ) What I mean by that statement is that in 
terms of the application of process in a fair and impartial manner, the 
reason for missing a deadline is, perhaps, not entirely relevant. There was 
a deadline for nominations.  The deadline passed without a single 
nomination being received. By a majority vote the PSO PC determined to 
extend the period for lodgement of nominations. I don't believe that this 
description of the status of the nomination process is in dispute.

I also note tin the response hat the assertion that "the candidate details 
are already under consideration by the PSO Council members." is potentially 
misleading, in so far as it may be construed that all PSO Council members 
are considering this candidate at present.  With reference to myself. I 
believe it to be entirely appropriate and proper to await the receipt of 
all nominations before I consider any individual nomination, and, 
therefore, the details of this candidate, and any other candidate who 
lodges an application by the new deadline, will be considered by myself 
only after the deadline has expired and the PSO Secretary circulates the 
details of nominations that have been received.

Regards,

    Geoff
