Dear PSO PC colleagues, Back to work having had to extend my holidays to cope with some personal problems (nothing serious!). I haven't read yet all the messages exchanged in this mailing list. I have nevertheless noted that Mr Da Silva's official nomination to the ICANN Board has reached us. I have quickly reacted to the message sent by Richard as I do not want any misunderstanding in any website about the reasons for extending the deadline for ICANN Board nominations. Please find enclosed the post I have made in the "ICANNWatch website": **************************************************************************** >From Azucena Hernandez: As a clarification, the body I represent in the PSO Council, which is ETSI (European Telecommunications Standard Institute), announced on the 14th March that a nomination was going to be submitted (please see the Minutes of the Teleconference hold 14th March 2002 in www.pso.icann.org). No nomination was submitted by the original deadline due to a pure administrative problem related to the holiday period. The candidate details are already under consideration by the PSO Council members. I do not know how much interest the "technical community" has on ICANN matters because that community is huge and I do not represent it, but I can confirm that the interest of ETSI in ICANN matters keeps being as high as when ICANN and the PSO were set up. ****************************************************************************** The message I have replied to mentions another one from Geoff that I can not open. Geoff, could you be so kind to send it to me?. Thanks a lot. Kind regards, Azucena "Hill, Richard" <richard.hill@itu.int> con fecha 05/08/2002 16:27:08 Destinatarios: Azucena Hernandez Perez/INFR/TESA@Telefonica CC: Asunto: Reply to ICANN Watch Azucena, Perhaps you should post a comment to the following: http://www.icannwatch.com/article.php?sid=885&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 pointing out that the missed deadline was just a clerical error, the candidate had in fact been identified in good time.
