Maria Farrell was our representative during this year and I would like to nominate her for another term. Maria has been fantastic as our rep in the NonCom.<BR>><BR>> As well as being a contributing member of the committee with good attendance and participation, she helped the committee improve its openness and transparency. While some of the nomcom's work (assessing candidates) needs to be confidential, there was scope to be less secretive about the timings and process as a whole. Maria set up the nomcom blog (<A href="http://icann2011nomcom.wordpress.com/" target=_blank>http://icann2011nomcom.wordpress.com/</A>) to increase awareness. She worked with the Chair of this year's Nomcom, Adam Peake, to use that blog and also the main ICANN blog to keep the community more up to date than previous nomcoms have on what the committee does. She also blogged about the committee's work at <A href="http://www.mariafarrell.com" target=_blank>www.mariafarrell.com</A> and <A href="http://www.crookedtimber.org" target=_blank>www.crookedtimber.org</A>.<BR>><BR>> Maria worked with other key committee members to encourage women to apply, as the tiny numbers the previous year were very troubling. She was successful in more than doubling the number of women candidates by using targeted outreach, public forums and the blogs.<BR>> Finally, although nomcom members' responsibility is to the organisation as a whole, and not their appointing group, Maria did an excellent job in ensuring that we nominated candidates whose backgrounds and views are from a wide range of the community.<BR>><BR>> If I don't hear any objection by July 29, 2011, I will submit Maria's name as NCUC's NonCom rep.<BR>><BR>> KK<BR>><BR>> Dr. Konstantinos Komaitis,<BR>><BR>> Senior Lecturer,<BR>> Director of Postgraduate Instructional Courses<BR>> Director of LLM Information Technology and Telecommunications Law<BR>> University of Strathclyde,<BR>> The Law School,<BR>> Graham Hills building,<BR>> 50 George Street, Glasgow G1 1BA<BR>> UK<BR>> tel: +44 (0)141 548 4306<BR>> <A href="http://www.routledgemedia.com/books/The-Current-State-of-Domain-Name-Regulation-isbn9780415477765" target=_blank>http://www.routledgemedia.com/books/The-Current-State-of-Domain-Name-Regulation-isbn9780415477765</A><BR>> Selected publications: <A href="http://hq.ssrn.com/submissions/MyPapers.cfm?partid=501038" target=_blank>http://hq.ssrn.com/submissions/MyPapers.cfm?partid=501038</A><BR>> Website: <A href="http://www.komaitis.org" target=_blank>www.komaitis.org</A><BR>><BR>><BR>> -----Original Message-----<BR>> From: <A href="mailto:apeake@gmail.com" target=_blank>apeake@gmail.com</A> [mailto:<A href="mailto:apeake@gmail.com" target=_blank>apeake@gmail.com</A>] On Behalf Of Adam Peake<BR>> Sent: Κυριακή, 10 Ιουλίου 2011 8:07 μμ<BR>> To: Konstantinos Komaitis<BR>> Cc: Adam Peake; Joette Youkhanna<BR>> Subject: NCUC delegate to the 2012 Nominating Committee<BR>><BR>> Dear Konstantinos,<BR>><BR>> I understand you are chair of the NCUC. I am writing to ask that the NCUC select a delegate to join the 2012 Nominating Committee (NomCom).<BR>><BR>> Maria Farrell served on the 2011 NomCom and is eligible to serve an additional 1 year term. Maria was a very valuable member of the committee, I hope she will be willing to volunteer again and if so the NCUC will be willing to select her to serve.<BR>><BR>> We would be grateful if you could make your selection by Monday, 15 August.<BR>><BR>> We hope service on the NomCom will be interesting and rewarding. In<BR>> 2012 the NomCom will select 3 Directors of the ICANN Board, 2 members if the ALAC, 1 member of the GNSO Council, and one member of the ccNSO Council. Please note the following as you invite volunteers and make your selection:<BR>><BR>> All 2012 NomCom members should be able to attend the Dakar ICANN meeting, 23-28 October including an additional day Oct 29th when we anticipate the 2012 NomCom will hold its first formal meeting. Travel, accommodational other expenses will be provided.<BR>><BR>> NomCom delegates should have a high level network of contacts essential to candidate recruitment (and we hope the NCUC as sending entity will support your delegate and help them with outreach.)<BR>><BR>> The person should be able to join monthly teleconferences (typically UTC 13:00.)<BR>><BR>> Note that the committee's workload will increase significantly during May/June 2012 when the candidate assessment process will be at its busiest. We anticipate holding weekly calls at that time (again typically UTC 13:00).<BR>><BR>> The person must be able to attend the June ICANN meeting, Prague,<BR>> 24-29 June and NomCom selection meeting expected June 30 and July 1st.<BR>><BR>> The person should be willing to work in a large, consensus-oriented committee.<BR>><BR>> Please consider geographic diversity of the NomCom when making your selection of delegate, also more women members would be helpful (2011<BR>> NomCom: of 21 members 10 were Europeans and 6 North Americans, 3 women).<BR>><BR>> Please send the name of the NCUC delegate by Monday, 15 August to Joette Youkhanna <<A href="mailto:joette.youkhanna@icann.org" target=_blank>joette.youkhanna@icann.org</A>> and me.<BR>><BR>> Many thanks,<BR>><BR>> Adam<BR>><BR>> Adam Peake<BR>> Chair, ICANN Nominating Committee 2011<BR>> <<A href="http://nomcom.icann.org/" target=_blank>http://nomcom.icann.org/</A>><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
