From the GNSO Secretariat: "The call for nominations by members of the GNSO Council for candidates to stand for for ICANN Board Seat 13 has formally opened today, Monday 19 February 2007 at 00:00 UTC and will run until Monday 12 March 2007 at 17:00 UTC."

This is the Board seat currently held by Alejandro Pisanty, who cannot stand for election again because of term limits. Because the other of the two GNSO seats is held by Rita Rodin, from North America, the successor to Mr. Pisanty's seat must come from an ICANN Region other than North America.
