            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>We need to appoint a NCUC delegate to the 2015 ICANN
              NomCom in the next week or so.  It’s unfortunate that
              NomCom’s cycle doesn’t synch with our election cycle but
              c’est la vie.<br>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div><b>What is the Nomcom?</b><br>
                <br>
                ICANN's Nominating Committee (NomCom) is responsible for
                the selection of eight ICANN Board Members and for other
                selections as are set forth in the Bylaws. (See Bylaws
                Article VII, Section 1 at<a moz-do-not-send="true"
                  href="http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VII-1">http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VII-1</a>)<br>
                <br>
                The NomCom is also charged with appointing some members
                of the At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), the Country
                Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) Council and
                the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO)
                Council. The NomCom complements the other means for
                filling a portion of key ICANN leadership positions
                achieved within the Supporting Organizations and
                Advisory Committees.<br>
                <br>
                Together, the NomCom and Supporting
                Organization/Advisory Committee selection pathways
                ensure that ICANN benefits from functional, cultural and
                geographic diversity in its policy development and
                decision-making as the Internet evolves.<br>
                <br>
                <b>Who serves on Nomcom? </b><br>
                <br>
                ICANN’s SOs and ACs send appointees to serve up to two
                consecutive one-year terms on the Nomcom. You can read
                more about the structure here <<a
                  moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://nomcom.icann.org">http://nomcom.icann.org</a>>.<br>
                <br>
                <b>Who is NCUC’s current appointee to Nomcom?</b><br>
                <br>
                For 2014-2015, Brenden Kuerbis of the Internet
                Governance Project served. He took over for Rafik
                Dammak, who was elected to NCSG Chair.<br>
                <br>
                Brenden has expressed interest to the Exec Com in
                continuing as NCUC’s appointee. Despite joining
                midstream, he was able to make a positive impact from
                recruiting applicants to selecting individuals to
                positions. Selections were announced on the ICANN
                website August 15 <<a moz-do-not-send="true"
                  href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-15-en">https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-15-en</a>>.<br>
                <br>
                Next year is an important cycle for Nomcom. It includes
                selections for 3 board seats and 2 NCAs to the GNSO, as
                well as other positions. Brenden has asked the EC for
                names of people we should approach about applying, as
                well as opportunities where we might do general
                outreach.  He is also happy to speak with us about the
                process and how NCUC can best engage it.</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>Would anyone else be interested in being considered
                for this position?  If so we could have the contending
                applicants make their cases here on the list and then
                the EC would decide taking into account the views
                expressed, an assessment of the applicants'
                qualifications, etc.  If not, the EC can just go ahead
                and vote on Brenden’s renewal.</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>Let's please move on this in the next week, before
                the IGF.  </div>
              <div><br>

              <div>Thanks,</div>
