There's a real number of opportunities there to make a significant difference! Apologies for cross-posting. Thanks, Olivier MJ Cr?pin-Leblond ICANN Nominating Committee 2010 --- cut here --- Call for Candidates for Leadership Positions at ICANN To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Named and Numbers, ICANN, coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit partnership of people from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers. ICANN doesn't control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn't deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet. More information about ICANN on: http://www.icann.org/en/participate/what-icann-do.html We're looking for candidates! ICANN's Nominating Committee is looking for volunteers to fill several ICANN leadership positions and is accepting applications. The closing date is April 2, 2010.
