ISOC Nominations Committee Report
4th January 1993
1. Procedures
-------------
Six Trustee positions are to be determined in the 1993 elections. Four of
these positions are Trustee positions created in 1993, and two positions are
the result of the standing down of Trustees Harms and Aiso. Accordingly the
Nominations Committee has had as its objective the selection of a minimum of
nine and a maximum of twelve selected candidates.
The nominations period for selected candidates commenced on 1 November 1992.
Two calls for nominations were sent to the ISoc membership list: The first
on 1 November, and a second call on November 30. The deadline for
nominations was 31 December 1992.
In response to an expression of interest each potential candidate was
requested to confirm their willingness to stand as a selected candidate and
was requested to provide personal details in relation to the published
selection criteria (attached) for selected candidates.

Nominations Committee Selection Guidelines
Candidates for ISOC Trustee should have a demonstrable involvement in the
Internet. Such involvement may range from participation as a technology
developer, researcher, user, network operator, policy maker (eg in
government), sponsor of research and development.
ISOC is interested in broadly-based representation on the Board of Trustees
and seeks to identify candidates from industry, education and non-profit
sectors and from government. The selection criteria will be directed to
selecting a broad range of interests, and will include criteria of regional
location, current activities, relevant experience and professional
background.
A minimum of 9 candidates, and up to 12 candidates, will be selected by
this committee, using the criteria as outlined above.
