[ALAC] Announcement of the kick off of the 2014 At-Large Board Director Selection Process

[ICANN At-Large Staff]

Dear All,

Please see the announcement of the start of the 2014 At-Large Board Director Selection Process sent on behalf of Tijani Ben Jemaa, Chair of the Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC):

**
The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is announcing the start of the process of the selection of Seat number 15 of the ICANN Board of Director who is selected by At-Large Community.

In 2010 we selected our first Board Director following the ICANN Board decision to replace the liaison ALAC had on the Board by a full rights voting Director.

The new Board Director occupying Seat 15 will join the ICANN Board at the conclusion of 2014 AGM, in October 2014, and thus, according to the ICANN bylaws, we must notify the name of the appointed Director at least 6 months before this date.

To meet this deadline, ALAC set up the following timeline:
