<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>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Bill</div>
