[atlarge-discuss] Provisional Membership Committee (copy to all members)

["Ron Sherwood" <sherwood@islands.vi>]

Dear Provisional Membership Committee volunteers:

I have been asked to prepare a draft letter to be sent to all Panelists-elect.

Since the last day of the 7 day grace period starts at 00:00Zulu Saturday, and since that is 8:00pm Atlantic time today, I propose that the committee elect their chairman at that time and immediately send this letter out to
all Panel-elect members.

Draft letter below for your approval

Regards, Ron Sherwood

----------Draft Letter----------

Dear Candidate:

You offered to serve as an officer of the Panel of representatives to perform certain bootstrap tasks on behalf of the 900+ registered members of the ICANN@Large Internet users group.  In the election process, you received
sufficient votes to be seated as a member of the Panel.

Because a number of candidates are unknown to the membership, and because of the possibility of pseudo personas standing for election in an on-line voting process, it was determined that the elected Panelists should be provided with a grace period of seven days to fulfill three simple requirements, or to automatically disqualify themselves from the right to take office. That grace period expires on Sunday June 8th at 00:00Zulu
(Midnight Saturday GMT)

The three requirements are:

1) to provide to the membership discuss list, or to a verification committee, simple proof of your existence as the person you represented yourself to be as a candidate. The method was left to you, but several options were offered.

2) to confirm your willingness to serve on the Panel for its duration (or for a lesser duration if that is your will).

3) to introduce yourself to the membership by posting to the atLarge-discuss list.

A number of members have volunteered to act as the Verification Committee and will spend the 24 hours prior to the expiration of the grace period in an attempt to contact all Panel members-elect to verify their compliance with the three above requirements. Please accept this message as our notice of that contact attempt.  If you have not yet met the above requirements please do so immediately.

Your early response is requested.

Sincerely, for the ICANN@Large Verification Committee

?????????, Chairperson
