I agree - Maria's been fantastic not just as our rep to NomCom but in
many other substantive ways as well. 

Cheers
Mary

candidates) needs to be confidential, there was scope to be less
secretive about the timings and process as a whole. Maria set up the
nomcom blog (http://icann2011nomcom.wordpress.com/) to increase
awareness. She worked with the Chair of this year's Nomcom, Adam Peake,
to use that blog and also the main ICANN blog to keep the community more
up to date than previous nomcoms have on what the committee does. She
also blogged about the committee's work at www.mariafarrell.com and
www.crookedtimber.org.

organisation as a whole, and not their appointing group, Maria did an
excellent job in ensuring that we nominated candidates whose backgrounds

Council.  Please note the following as you invite volunteers and make
your selection:
>
> All 2012 NomCom members should be able to attend the Dakar ICANN
meeting, 23-28 October including an additional day Oct 29th when we
anticipate the 2012 NomCom will hold its first formal meeting. Travel,
accommodational other expenses will be provided.
>
> NomCom delegates should have a high level network of contacts
essential to candidate recruitment (and we hope the NCUC as sending
entity will support your delegate and help them with outreach.)
>
> The person should be able to join monthly teleconferences (typically
UTC 13:00.)
>
> Note that the committee's workload will increase significantly during
May/June 2012 when the candidate assessment process will be at its
busiest. We anticipate holding weekly calls at that time (again
typically UTC 13:00).
>
> The person must be able to attend the June ICANN meeting, Prague,
> 24-29 June and NomCom selection meeting expected June 30 and July
1st.
>
> The person should be willing to work in a large, consensus-oriented
committee.
>
> Please consider geographic diversity of the NomCom when making your
selection of delegate, also more women members would be helpful (2011
> NomCom: of 21 members 10 were Europeans and 6 North Americans, 3
women).
>
> Please send the name of the NCUC delegate by Monday, 15 August to
Joette Youkhanna <joette.youkhanna at icann.org> and me.
