Paragraph 3.b.3 of the ASO Memorandum of Understanding between ICANN and the Number Resources Organization, dated 21 October 2004, further defines that the selection will be conducted by the Address Council (ASO AC). ICANN Bylaws Article VI, Section 8, Paragraph 4 states the Supporting Organization shall give the Secretary of ICANN written notice of its selection.
At their meeting on 2 May 2007, the ASO AC selected Raimundo Beca to serve a further three year term on the ICANN Board of Directors. Mr Beca's current term expires at the ICANN meeting in June 2007.
