              <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>

                </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>

                  <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>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>

                      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>
