Help shape Canada’s Internet by becoming a CIRA Board member

Ottawa, May 10, 2012 – The Canadian Internet Registration Authority’s (CIRA) Nomination Committee is seeking dynamic individuals with an interest in shaping the Internet in Canada. This marks the official launch of CIRA’s twelfth Board of Directors Election.

CIRA’s Nomination Committee will review applications and select the Final Nomination Committee Slate which will then be voted on by .CA Members during the September election. There are three nomination committee seats available, all of which will hold three-year terms.

Canadians with governance experience and relevant background in industry, technology or the Internet are encouraged to apply. Expertise in one of the following areas would be an asset: accounting, law, marketing and communications or technology.

This is a unique opportunity to work with Canada's Internet leaders as they develop strategy and policy that positions .CA for operational excellence. The skills, experience and expertise Board members bring to the table will help guide CIRA as it fulfills its mandate to manage the .CA domain as a key public resource for the benefit of all Canadians.

Applications may be submitted between May 10 and June 8 at: https://elections.cira.ca/2012/en/nom_com_nominees.html.
    
The Internet belongs to all of us, and impacts every aspect of our lives. CIRA’s election process provides Canadians and .CA Members an opportunity to take a leadership role in the development of the Internet of the future to ensure it continues to be an open and accessible public resource.
