Just spotted this - for UK residents only I think.
If you have the ‘right stuff’, you can help Nominet spend £5 million of its profits. They have decided to set up something called the Nominet Foundation ‘to better utilise (Nominet’s surpluses) to…
provide public benefits to UK Internet stakeholders with an emphasis on ensuring the proper use and availability of the internet, education, information technology, and research and development projects particularly for the young, the elderly and the socially deprived’.
So they need 4 trustees to help them spend the dosh, er, allocate the surplus. In addition to strong interpersonal skills you will need a commitment to the objectives of the Foundation and the ability to communicate effectively with the key stakeholder groups and an understanding of the aims of the Foundation and its partners i.e. research, academia and Internet users and stakeholders. So nothing too difficult there!
More details about Nominet can be found here and you can find out more about the vacancies, here. Oh yes, the deadline for applications is March 28th 2008.
