LL stated that he had posted 2 e-mails to the Council’s list today, and that he begun working with the ARIN staff. LL suggested the ASO AC consider a logo that encompassed the NRO EC and the ASO AC. RP stated that the logo is being worked on by the CCG. LL stated that the next step would be to review a mock-up of website after ARIN staff has worked on it. RP stated that all five of the RIRs have various staff members contributing to this effort as it is a project of the CCG, and not solely ARIN staff.
At this time (22:20 UTC) HG joined the call. At this time the Chair requested discussing items 4 and 5.

The Chair called for a roll call vote. Dave Wodelet was elected to the ICANN Board. During voting, it was noted that HJ Kwon had disconnected from the call, therefore he was unavailable to vote.
Item 5: Post-Election Actions by the SEC
The SEC stated that notification of this election will be sent via e-mail to the SEC of ICANN, and provided a hard copy if needed. He explained that when there is a change in the Board, a thank you letter should be sent to the departing member after he leaves the position. The SEC also suggested the Chair consider sending a message to losing candidates thanking them for participating, and to the winning candidate notifying him that he won. The Chair agreed.
The SEC further suggested that the Chair ask Dave Wodelet to confirm that he accepts the position on the ICANN Board. The Chair stated he would do so on 4 May 2006.
SHG suggested that the losing nominees apply with an SOI through the ICANN NomCom. RP suggested SHG communicate to the losing nominees directly. SHG agreed to do so.
