Dear all</div>
<div align="left"><br>
</div>
<div style="color:#000000;font-size:11pt">Another NomCom
cycle is nearing its end. NomCom has just completed a
series of online intersessional meetings - three
four-hour long calls - and we have come up with the
finalised list of candidates for open ICANN leadership
positions. Between now and Marrakesh we will follow up
with candidates' references, and prepare for the final
selection process which will take place in Marrakesh
during ICANN65. <br>
</div>
<div style="color:#000000;font-size:11pt"><span></span><span></span><span></span><span></span><span></span><span><br>
</span></div>
<div style="color:#000000;font-size:11pt"><span>At the
close of the application period in late March, NomCom
had received 127 applications in total: 56 from
Africa; 35 from Asia Pacific; 13 from Europe; 21<br>
from Latin America and the Caribbean; and 2 from North
America. There were 42 female and 85 male applicants.
Several applicants applied for more than one position.
The low number of NA candidates is simply a result of
the fact that the complement of board members from
North America is full at present and we were not
appointing anyone for ALAC from NA in this round. The
gender breakdown is disappointing. In my view
addressing this should be given serious consideration
by future NomComs. The 2018 figures looked better.<br>
</span></div>
<div style="color:#000000;font-size:11pt"><span><br>
</span></div>
<div style="color:#000000;font-size:11pt"><span>
<div><span><span><span>At an intersessional meeting in
Los Angeles from </span></span>10-13 April
NomCom members reviewed and discussed each of the
128 applications and produced a long list of 58
candidates. From late April to mid-May applicants
we took another close look at candidates'
applications and background material, and
conducted voice with all of them. <br>
</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>The final list consists of a total of 24
shortlisted candidates in total for all the
positions: Board, PTI Board; GNSO; ccNSO;
ALAC-Africa; ALAC-Asia Pacific; ALAC Latin
American and the Caribbean. The number of
candidates per position varies from 7 to 2. As I
said above, we will finalise our selections in
Marrakesh, including interviewing Board and PTI
Board candidates face-to-face. The public
announcement of the final selection, however, will
only be made from late August to September.<br>
</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>I am very happy to report that we had
excellent candidates - that is not new of course.
However, what is particularly rewarding is that we
also had excellent candidates from Africa which
indicates we manage to respond effectively to a
challenge identified in 2018. There is also good
diversity in the shortlist from the perspective of
insiders vs. outsiders, and the background and
experience of candidates. <br>
</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>Below is a reminder of the 2019 NomCom
Timeline. I also attach the May 2019 NomCom
update.</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>Finally, my second term on NomCom is coming
to an end. This means it is time for NCUC to
identify someone new. I am available to share
information about the workload and skills needed
with anyone who is interested.<br>
</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>Thanks again to the NCUC for appointing me
and to NCUC leadership for their support. It has
been very positive experience. I have learnt more
about ICANN than in the previous 20 years :) It is
hard work, frustrating at times, but rewarding to
see how a group of very diverse individuals can
work together effectively to produce what I trust
will again be an impressive group of people that
will add value to ICANN. <br>
</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>Thank you also to NomCom leadership: Damon
Ashcraft (chair), Jay Sudowski (incoming chair)
and Zahid Jamil (outgoing chair) for creating a
very constructive and respectful work environment.
As for the ICANN staff support team, they have
been excellent. We would never be able to do this
without them.<br>
</span></div>
