Because many people ask me about the facts in this posting, I’d like to say that today things are different, and they are quite different for the non-Board positions.
It would be really great to see more geographic diversity on the Board and within the different ICANN councils. Since my departure from the Board, and actually before that, there has not been an East European, a Russian, or a representative from the whole Central Asian group of countries on the Board level.
The only other East European I can think of, is Slobodan Markovic, who is a member of the ccNSO council, and his term ends next year.
So, people, please – apply!!
