<p>Dear Renata and NCUC leadership<br>
</p>
<p>A belated thank you for the confidence in me to reappoint me
for a second term. I will do my best to add value to the NomCom
process. I post below my statement of interest to share with you
my thoughts of what I would like to prioritise in my second
term.</p>
<p>Warmly</p>
<p>Anriette Esterhuysen</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><b>Statement of Interest in being appointed for a second term
to ICANNs Nominations Committee by the NCUC</b><br>
<br>
Firstly, thank you very much to NCUC for appointing me to the
2018 NomCom. I am aware that it is an honour to be chosen and
appreciate being trusted with the responsibility. I have been a
member of NCUC for a very long time, but my participation has
not been as active as I would like it to have been due to my
previous position as executive director of the Association for
Progressive Communications. I just had too much else to do to be
more than a follower and occasional contributor. Nevertheless,
I did attend several ICANN meetings, and participated in
collaborative activities, particularly NCUC outreach events in
Durban, London and Johannesburg and ensured that APC contributed
to some key decisions and processes.<br>
<br>
I stepped down from my position as APC ED in mid-2017 which
created more opportunity for me to participate in ICANN and was
appointed by NCUC to serve on NomCom not long after. In spite of
not being at the first meeting in Dubai I have been a very
active member of NomCom and feel that my contribution has made a
positive difference.<br>
<br>
NomCom's role in ICANN is very important. NomCom has to identify
people for leadership that do not come through the constituency
(or SO/AC) track. This means we have to find people with
excellent experience and qualifications who can contribute to
ICANN as a nonprofit, public interest organisation that is
community driven AND accountable more broadly for the decisions
it makes. NomCom candidates need to be 'non aligned' and bring
diversity of experience and perspectives, but also have the
qualifications and experience needed to operate in a tough
environment.<br>
<br>
<b>Why another term?</b><br>
<br>
My past experience and skillsets are particularly suited to the
NomCom role. I have served on several boards in the past (see my
CV which is attached) and have done a lot of recruitment. I am
used to working in a multistakeholder environment, and having to
stand up for public interest concerns and voice civil society
perspectives in contexts where this is not easy. While I cannot
represent NCUC in a direct manner as a NomCom member, I believe
I have been able to make sure that NCUC and NCSG priorities (as
communicated to NomCom by NCSG leadership) are considered
seriously by NomCom. NomCom is hard work, but it is work that I
feel I can do efficiently and effectively. <br>
<br>
Secondly, NomCom is a team of people that work together under a
lot of pressure and in quite a closed manner as much of what we
discuss is confidential. Learning to work together with
efficiency, and trust and respect takes time. Most members serve
more than one term. This provides some continuity which is very
important. I feel that I learned a lot, about NomCom, about the
other SOs and ACs, about leadership in ICANN and that it would
be good to be able to apply this learning during a second term.
I also feel that my experience in working in teams, being part
of boards, and being part of collective decision-making
processes (e.g. the IGF MAG) has helped me to contribute to
creating a productive working environment in NomCom.<br>
<br>
Thirdly, I feel my work is not "finished". I have a specific
goal to focus on getting strong candidates from Africa and the
MENA regions into the selection process. It is not that I did
not try this last year, or even in the past through other
NomComs, but I feel I now have a better understanding of how to
address the challenge of getting strong candidates from these
regions into ICANN leadership positions. It is not that these
regions are the only underrepresented regions.. there are
others, but currently they are MORE under represented than most
other regions. The challenge is not so much to have large
numbers of candidates from these regions, but to get people that
really meet the qualifications and that are so strong that they
can come through the initial selection phases of NomCom. This
means that the outreach has to be very focused, identifying
people that have the specific skills needed for specific
leadership positions.. not just people who are in general
interested in taking a leadership role in ICANN. I feel more
able to do this well in a second round on NomCom than I did
during my first term.<br>
<br>
Finally, while the results are not yet public, I feel that I
managed to do well during my first term on NomCom. In spite of
many challenges we as a NomCom selected candidates that will
strengthen gender diversity and other forms of diversity in
ICANN leadership. I do not take credit for this - it was a
collective achievement, and only time will tell how the
community feels about it. But I really believe that as a NomCom
we selected the strongest possible candidates in the final
phases of the selection process. I look forward to feedback.</p>

<pre wrap="">Dear all
The EC has evaluated the applications for Nomcom rep and has decided
to reappoint Anriette Esterhuysen.
It was mentioned that the 1st term of the rep was very important for
the decision and congratulations for a job well done and best wishes
for a 2019 term.
Best,
Renata
