The procedures for the selection of trustees of the Internet Society can be found at:

http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/select.shtml

The Nominations Committee will use the following 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 (e.g. 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. In addition, the selection criteria will include critical qualifications of a Trustee for a not-for-profit association such as the ability to raise funds for the organization or to identify and resource
relevant projects.

A profile of the current Board of trustees can be found at:

The committee will confirm with the candidates their willingness to stand for election as a nominated candidate if so selected. Nominees will also be
requested to provide the committee with further personal details (in the format of a curriculum vita) as they relate to the selection guidelines that are to be applied by the committee, and provide to the committee a statement indicating their willingness and ability to devote an appropriate level of time to activities associated with the position of Trustee of the Internet Society.

It is intended that the committee's selection process will result in at least 4 candidates for election as nominated candidates by the Organizational Members and at least 2 candidates for election as nominated candidates by the Chapters. Announcement of the nominated candidates will be on 24 January 2004. Also on 24 January a petition period begins and additional
candidates for election to the Board of Trustees may be nominated by the Organizational membership and Chapters by petition. Specific details of the petition process will be included in the announcement of nominated
candidates on 24 January. Following the closure of the petition period,the list of the nominated and petitioned candidates will be announced.

The Election Committee will start the balloting for ISOC voting Organizational Members and Chapters on or before 8 March 2004 and the Election Day is
set to be 5 April 2004.
