> 7 September 2010
> The 2010 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom) has completed its  
> selections for seven leadership positions within ICANN.
>
> The NomCom’s Chair, Wolfgang Kleinwaechter, said "We are proud to  
> announce this year’s selectees to ICANN’s leadership. They include  
> highly accomplished and experienced individuals from Albania,  
> Argentina, Egypt, France, Germany, and the United States. The  
> Committee noted with deep satisfaction that so many highly  
> qualified individuals had put their names forward for these  
> positions. At the same time, this made the Committee´s work  
> particularly complex, with difficult choices between numerous  
> excellent candidates to fill just a handful of positions. The final  
> selections, a consensus after long deliberations in the Committee,  
> combines renewal with expertise and experience in a way that we  
> trust will reinforce ICANN and meet the community's expectations.  
> Furthermore, for the first time in ICANN’s history, since 1998, the  
> Committee has selected a representative of the Arab speaking  
> community to the Board, which underlines the importance of !  
> further internationalization of ICANN."
>
> NomCom is charged with recruiting and selecting a portion of  
> ICANN’s leadership. NomCom is mandated to ensure, that overall,  
> ICANN’s leadership is diverse in geography, culture, skills,  
> experience, and perspective. The basic criteria is that selectees  
> are people of integrity, objectivity and sound judgment, can  
> support decision-making within groups, can work effectively in  
> English, have an understanding of ICANN’s mission and operation,  
> are committed to its success, experienced in world affairs,  
> contribute to cultural, professional and geographic expertise, and  
> can work long and hard as volunteers in the global public trust.
>
> NomCom evaluated over eighty candidates, many of whom with  
> exceptional qualifications in relation to the key criteria as set  
> out in the ICANN Bylaws. With such a rich pool of candidates and  
> very few seats to fill, NomCom found itself unable to appoint all  
> the applicants the Committee members would have desired to see on  
> the Board and on the other bodies.
>
> Selectees listed for each ICANN body, in alphabetical order by  
> family name. (Biographies of these individuals will be posted soon)
