</div>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Dear all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>My term on NomCom has come to an end. In the next month or so you will be informed of the results of the efforts of the 2019 NomCom. While the results will hold some disappointment for some excellent candidates who did not make it, I believe that our selections
overall will add value and diversity (particularly diversity in terms of experience, background, perspective and region) to ICANN. I also think we struck a good balance between continuity on the one hand, and new people/ideas/perspectives on the other.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Bruna and the leadership team: Thank you again for your confidence in me. I am very proud to have been selected and I feel that finally, after years and years of being a rather remote (and not very active) member of this community, I have put in the time,
hard work, and hopefully, results that will make a positive contribution to your collective efforts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Peter asked me to share more about the experience and workload. Bruna already shared the criteria. I copy them below, and add a few additional thoughts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>Experience:</b> What is not mentioned explicitly in the official criteria is how valuable board experience is. If you have served on boards, even if they are not like the ICANN board which has a far heavier workload than most boards, that helps a lot.
Experience in recruitment is even more valuable in my view. If you have worked with recruitment processes (particularly ones that have to adhere to labour law that demands fairness in recruitment procedure) that helps a lot. Having experience in interviewing
people is also very helpful. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>Knowledge of ICANN:</b> You do need good knowledge of ICANN overall, particularly of the specific role and characteristics of the leadership roles that NomCom recruits for and of the unique role of NomCom - remember NomCom is note the only mechanism for
finding people for leadership roles. My knowledge of ICANN was good overall but limited by the limitations of my experience in ICANN and not nearly as 'insider' or detailed as that of many others in this space. During my first term I had to work hard to fill
the 'depth' gap in my knowledge of how ICANN works. Fortunately this was not hard. There is a lot of material to read, and people to talk to and learn from. Being on NomCom has been a really good learning experience for me.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>Time required:</b> Between the March and June meetings you probably need to dedicate an average of about 22 hours a week. That includes calls, the face-to-face meetings mentioned below as well as an online intersessional and the work you do on your own
reviewing candidates and work done with others on interviewing candidates and follow up on references. This does not include time traveling or getting visas (which, as those who need to get them know, can be significant). Prior to that you have to attend
meetings and calls and do outreach, meet with members of the community and work on various NomCom committees but the volume of time needed is less.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>Attitude:</b> Be open to learn and listen to others. Have the confidence to disagree and question in a constructive manner. Be able to ask for help when you need it. Put ICANN's overall interest first, as opposed to that of a particularly stakeholder
group or constituency. If you don't have a clear understanding of what ICANN's overall interest is at the particular time that NomCom is doing its work, then think about it, read, and talk to people; having clarity in your own mind about this is important,
even if your individual understanding might vary a bit from that of others. Always maintain critical thinking and an analytical understanding of the specifics of the ICANN multistakeholder model and the current status of its development (or evolution) and
the expectations it has to meet. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I am available to any candidate for NCUC NomCom appointee who has further questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Anriette<o:p></o:p></p>

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.

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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.

staff support team, they have been excellent. We would never be able to do this without them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
