<p>Dear all</p>
<p>The closing date to apply for ICANN leadership positions is 22
March (extended from 18 March). So just a few days left. These are
the positions we are recruiting for:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Three members of the <abbr title="Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> Board of Directors.</li>
<li>One member of the PTI Board of Directors.</li>
<li>Three regional representatives to the At-Large <abbr
title="Advisory Committee" class="">Advisory Committee</abbr>
(<abbr title="At-Large Advisory Committee" class="">ALAC</abbr>)
– one from the Asia, Australia, and Pacific Islands region, one
from the Latin America and Caribbean Islands region, one from
the Africa region.</li>
<li>Two members of the Generic Names <abbr title="Supporting
Organization">Supporting Organization</abbr> (<abbr
title="Generic Names Supporting Organization">GNSO</abbr>)
Council.</li>
<li>One member of the Country Code Names <abbr title="Supporting
Organization">Supporting Organization</abbr> (<abbr
title="Country Code Names Supporting Organization">ccNSO</abbr>)
Council.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please look at the call and give serious consideration to the
criteria and if you meet them, or know of people who do, please
apply or encourage others to do so. For board positions our
particular priority is to recruit people from Africa, as the terms
of current serving board members from Africa, Cherine Chalaby and
Khaled Koubaa - both from North Africa - expire at the AGM later
this year. The term of Mike Silber, from South Africa, was up last
year. Please help us with outreach. The board currently has the
maximum number of board members from North America so we will not
be accepting board applicants from that region. But this does not
apply to the other leadership positions.. only to the board. <br>

<p>Also read this blog from NomCom outreach subcommittee chair,
Pablo Rodriguez, for updates on some of the 'nuts and bolts' work
we have done this year. This is part of NomCom's effort to
increase transparency about our work processes.. and important
goal that we set for ourselves last year. <br>

<p>Hope everyone is well and that those who attended the Kobe
meeting traveled home safely. Don't hesitate to contact me if you
have any questions about NomCom's work. <br>
